Silver chloride conversion to metal before being melted, there are several methods you can use, sodium hydroxide NaOH, and karo syrup method, or the dilute sulfuric and iron metal method , or HCl and aluminum, you can find details on the forum using the search.

If you have just a small amount save it up until you get a batch big enough to mess with, you want to keep silver chloride wet before the conversion to metal, Hokes book discusses using the silver stock pot,
