Does the Electrolytic Cell work with silver plated items as well as gold plated items?

Would nitric acid be the better option?

Unfortunately, I do not recall any discussion of recovering the silver, but I can attest, thanks to numerous experiences, that the silver content is the major element that is present, so there must be an easy way to make a recovery. Copper has to be the solution.
