My First Poured Silver Attempt

I tried pouring silver for the first time today!

It went......okay.... :)  

Honestly, it was fun, but I need to work on it a lot.  I am using a simple MAPP torch to melt and a propane torch to heat the mold and sort of create ripples.  The picture below are the two pieces I created.  The one on top has a lot of some foreign material on it.  I believe that to be borax which I put in the crucible.  There is also a little on the bottom one.   I'll need to 'pickle' them. They did not completely fill the mold which is meant to hold 2.8 oz.  I have one for 1/2 oz., which I will try tomorrow.  Don't make fun of me too much!  Any tips are greatly appreciated!
