“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven
@welshstacker sort of called this initiative back on June 22nd, and since the Pit Bullion pinewood Chest is reasonably accessible …sure, why not make a post about my Michael Muller aka @pit-bullion’s poured silver stack.
Those were our Youtube to Pre-Hive years. I’ve won more than my fair share of shiny prizes from the Stacking community so slapping together an IG entry post would be a fine excuse to get re-acquainted with our former Don. Ah, those YouTube video memories of Metals Mafia.
@stokjockey, @silversaver888 and I remain of that stacking mob that migrated over here from Metals Mafia back in 2017. Over time, one by one, the others just abandoned their account over the various reasons and issues most of us that have been here long enough are familiar with. Hive blogging can be a tough journey. The most notable departure was Michael @pit-bullion himself as he handed his @rewards-pool keys over to a trusted member to focus on his pouring craft.

The 2018 Pour Party Bar
- Pit Bull head: @pit-bullion
- Sailing Ship: @silvervessel
- V: @mr-vulcan
- Winged V: @mrs-v
- AK47 Rifle: @stackinag47
- Anchor: Silver to Burn.
As you may see, each of these marks represent an Artist that our community is familiar with and not just on the Hive platform but also known in the YouTube community. So you can understand how this became my favorite bar from Pit Bullion.
The 2018 Pour Party Bar Specs;
- Weight; 97.27g, 3 TOZ.
- 0.999 Fine silver
- 44.6 x 37.8 x 7.9mm
- Serialized, 7
- Minted by @pit-bullion
Back of the bar features the classic natural pour lines much desired in this form of silver bar that instantly gives us that vintage feel. Do Zoom in on the picture!
I know I'm not the only person with this milestone bar, I just don't quite recall how many of these bars were made. This bar being the 7th of 24? Help me out here Pit. A least you know how many were made that year.
Most former members are now on Instagram. Some continue pour their craft so I can’t help getting in a periodic peek at their wares. And by the way, @corndogg42 still memes. I can remember Michael’s early years getting into the craft, and he’s very much upped his game. Just check his website and his IG page.
I must advise a little caution to the stacking curious.
Instagram is the place notorious in setting off my most acute forms of Stackitis more than anywhere else. The shiny found here is not the type for the beginning Stacker. And this explains my alter ego’s style of ‘Off the beaten track’ stacking apart from your normal sensible stacking.
Here Comes the irony of it all...
Then there is the generous donation of shot silver for the Stackitis Nurse’s Clinic on Hive. Nyssacat’s philanthropy to the operation of my clinic has benefited the Stacking health of the Community. What better person to run this Stackitis Clinic than a Stackitis patient herself.
One of these days, I’ll get the Stackitis Nurse Bot up and operational as an automated service.
Adding poured Silver to my Stack for that big stormy day!
The #piratesunday tag is the scurvy scheme of Captain @stokjockey for #silvergoldstackers pirates to proudly showcase their shiny booty and plunder for all to see. Landlubbers arrrh… welcomed to participate and be a Pirate at heart so open yer treasure chests an’ show us what booty yea got!
