Hey—Johnny Cox here. A few years back I spent my days running an insurance agency and my nights trying not to burn out. My escape? Melting scrap silver in the garage and pouring the simplest of bars—nothing fancy, just a way to clear my head.
Those plain bars sold out to friends. Curious, I tried sand‑casting so I could carve bolder shapes and textures. The pieces got cooler, demand got louder, and I got hooked. One learning rabbit‑hole later, I dove into investment casting, unlocking fully 3‑D designs that finally matched the ideas in my head.
Orders soon out‑paced policy renewals, and in 2020 I faced a choice: keep juggling insurance paperwork or bet on the midnight passion project. I chose the furnace—and Gold Spartan was born.
Today we’re still a small, hands‑on crew who pour every 999+ silver piece one at a time—just with better tools, crazier molds, and a lot more collectors cheering us on. If you’ve ever watched a side hobby take on a life of its own, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Gold Spartan.
