On another note discostu89, I, like a number of others on this thread and obviously your good self, do like to scrounge for junk silver. The other day I was panning some wash dirt that I had brought home and I noticed the old spoon in my kit was Hallmarked. Turned out to be about 30 grams of silver in it and I thought,my time may be better spent sifting the garage sales & oppies than panning for gold! Cheers, Audacious.
