Hey everybody

[Cheque_raise]

Thanks for having me! Just a stacker expanding my horizons. Gonna try to digest some of the wealth of information here before undertaking any refining myself, although that is the end goal. Silver is the focus of my attention at the moment, and that is what I have the most questions about.. thanks in advance everyone!

Silver is the focus of my attention at the moment

What type of silver are you planning on refining?

I personally don't recommend refining anything that's marked or of a known content, silver coins..etc.

Welcome to us.
If you plan to refine anything we recommend some studies.

We ask our new members to do 3 things.
1. Read C.M. Hokes book on refining jewelers scrap, it gives an easy introduction to the most important chemistry regarding refining.
It is free here on the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=19798
2. Then read the safety section of the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/forums/safety.47/
3. And then read about "Dealing with waste" in the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/threads/dealing-with-waste.10539/

Thank you for taking the time to post this! This should keep me occupied for awhile. Any other things I should be aware of as a newbie?

I have about 2+ kilos of scrap sterling, stuff I was able to get good deals on (plates, bowls, flatware random pieces, some jewelry too.
