Silver?

You could melt off a drop and send it to BNE for XRF analysis.

Hope nobody rushed out and bought GOLD or SILVER yesterday!!!! Right now it is down $95+/toz! WOW!

Silver is down almost $4 per toz also

Lone Ranger bullets yea, right. Several who did jewelry tried it. A few even tried shooting them. Basically a hollywood stunt. Well, the show was fiction anyway. It doesn't work! Pretty trinkets though.

Anybody like vampire movies. In one scene in Blade, Blade is casting silver bullets for a 9 mm.
You can't really see the pot he melts the silver in but he is ladle pouring with a Lyman ladle into a Lyman mold.
Blade opens the sprue plate with bare fingers and drops the nice shiny boolits out on a table. The tinkle real pretty as they bounce around on he table.
If it works for Blade it should work for you.

What happened with that trinket?

I've thought you could get silver wire and make buckshot for evil critters.

I have a few coins, should look at selling them off soon as I dig them out.

Interesting to see you could smelt your own!

I think I would keep that.

You made it, it has value to you, ie time and energy spent recovering it.

Silver spot is hovering between 26 and 28 $ per ounce, and I expect it to go higher.
A reputable dealer would IMO offer you 20 an ounce. Or 100$.
I suspect it is worth more than that to you sitting on your desk or reloading bench.

Well done btw.

Codys Lab of youtube fame cast some silver bullets and even a gold bullet. Was a rather neat episode.

For those who are into metals his videos on reclaiming silver and gold are fun, also Nile Red has some good info for metal reclamation.
