JackCrafty:
Is he smelting the copper with modern equipment?

Bone pile:
I haven't see the set up.Says its a crucible in a small forge.It must be blow torch for heat he's taking it up to 1800-2000 and pouring into sand mold then final shaping with hammer/Hammerstein. I used one of his nuggets for percussion and it worked well.
