Just a quick question that will most likely make me look new which I am. But can I use an ingot mold for both molten copper and silver Or would they contaminate each other? And same question with the crucible

Simple answer, would there be any cross contamination?  Yes, but only in the parts per million or less range.  There will always be some molecules left in cracks and pores between pours (intentional punny wording).  But not enough to really notice without high level laboratory testing.

There are several people on this site who can provide consulting help. But you need to be more specific. What do you need help with, where do you need help at, and are you looking hire someone or looking for free advice?
