Hi I'm looking for some cheap silver so I can melt down and pour into some custom-made castings. Plus if any info on where I can get the molds to pour into I would like a dragon shape but be happy with anything.

of course not.. The shapes are there and make use of readily shape, all you need is to covert into with proper materials. Do a bit of research yourself. A proper mould or custom shapes are expensive. Unless you do know someone with CNC machines. Tools makers or similar. Normally, people will works with plastics mould until final products of graphite. Recently, I have done some Plastics Tubes for coins and send them to The Manufacture. It is not cheap for a start. Now, I have my own product.
I have been try to research it myself I have never done anything like this before so I don't know shit . My mate who has the. Forge was talking about a wax mold that might work . Or I'll make my dad male make me something to pour into hahha PS I worked in a foundry and what we used as then molds were sand that had been heated and pressed I ran those machines. And somehow they the molten stuff that boring on to it never affected it till it got but into a big round drum to break the sand off
Wax mold is good and only in single use. Looks like you have the experiences. They works in similar way. And sand mold too. If using silver , sand mold is not suitable. You will have better chances with wax mold.
Yer that's whaty mate said who does amaizng stuff with his hands lol. I'll hit my dad up first he should be able to make me something for it
