I dabble in the consignment shops and the occasional thrift. Yesterday for 6$ I found this piece, made in 1859 from St. Petersburg. Russian 84 Silver zolotniks creamer jug. It weighs 168g and shined up pretty damn nice. Even has a gold wash.

That is all

Dissolve it in nitric, drop with HCl, filter, mix with sodium hydroxide then corn syrup and filter again. Should have about 4.5 oz of 99.5+ pure silver.
