Stirring in the presence of iron didn’t work for me. I still had agcl present.

I had to tumble the silver chloride with iron as the grinding media.

You need intimate contact between the agcl and the iron.

Well, I have a magnetic stirrer on the way to my house by tomorrow at 8pm, so we'll see if that works better than just hand-stirring everything around while it's reacting.

Yes that's a good start it does work better.

It didn’t work for me.

Short of preparing hard to dissolve solids, I do not find magnetic stirrers to be of great use in refining.

I'm going to try it for alternating HCl and H2O washes/rinses this weekend to see how that goes first.
