Conducted an experiment trying to recover sterling silver from silverware. The handles of these pieces are made of sterling silver and in this video we melt.. The easiest way to recycle silver is to melt it down and turn it into something else. If most of your silver consists of items that are not all that popular on the market, you can have them melted down and transformed into jewelry, kitchenware, and other objects that you find useful to keep or that can be easily sold.

So still sterling silver after melt, to purify it beyond this point, the bar will head into a silver cell machine & a reverse electroplating process will strip the pure silver from the other alloys.. I have access to a bunch of old flatware from an old barn loft. Would melting the silver off be worth while? There would also be gain from the base metal. Brass or copper. Any thoughts?
