[QUOTE="Evan Saltis, post: 7857918, member: 103066"]Unless I misunderstood.. this shouldn't be a complicated formula. Off the top of my head. Current melt $ × (weight in oz × fineness) on the separation part, you would place it in a crucible (heat resistant bowl used in science), you would torch the silver (acetylene works well), and then remove the slag from the top which would coagulate because of the different characteristics of the metal mixed in with silver. The slag would not be purely base metal, so you can retorch it and see if there is any more silver mixed in which you can separate. The first is easier. :)[/QUOTE]
