google docs --> spreadsheet. I can keep track of all bullion, US junk silver, Canadian Junk silver and "other" and add them up and calculate their value based on a cell that fetches spot prices from kitco or apmex. I can download it to my computer in an excell readable format or I can share it...

I would support a motion to create a thread called "Lucky finds" or similar that would include; metal detecting, garage sales, estate sales, live auctions (I picked up over a $1200 in junk US silver coins one day for $450 at a live auction in Texas!), or just finding stuff on the ground as you...

re glove: they're usually wearing latex gloves when they look through your stuff. I brought about 100 oz Ag and 6 odd oz of Au into NZ last september on my carry-on. Not wise to risk checking it. The silver I just said up front, I know you're going to want to inspect this so let's please do...

you know most keys are brass or alumin(i)um, right? Some look like steel but they're plated. might as well throw em in a jar and scrap em when you get enough. not too much trouble to do that.

... oh shut the fk up.

LOLS

I'm sorry joey, you're 100% wrong on understanding this specific gravity thing. If you cut the bar in half then yes, your displacement mass will be half, but so will be the half bar that you are weighing, hence the ratio will be the same. if you divide the bar's mass by its water displacement...

I carry a coin in each pocket, so I like pants with lots of pockets.

Hello, my name is Sam and I have a silver problem. *waves hand awkwardly.*

NO. specific gravity is independent of weight. silver is silver. density is density. For "fun," i tested an ASE, an Engelhard round, and a Sunshine round. The range I got was 10.39 - 10.42 which I'm happy with considering my crap scale and lowering the pieces in by hand.

i think that's too light. 31 maybe 30.9x is all I'd tolerate. edit: I noticed your SG test thread ... so did these light bars test out OK?

Finally, Batsh!t Bachmann is out of the race. Maybe she'll shut up now, unlike Sarah Palin (Thanks John McCain for releasing this animal into society :rolleyes: .)

so a known fake one, had the exact same sound as a known real one? for some it might be hard to remember the pitch, so put one on your index and one on you middle finger and tap one right after the other.

I've found a great way to test bars or coins. Just balance it carefully flat on your finger with your finger in the middle and tap it with something else metal. Compare it to something that you're sure of. The one with more copper in it will ring higher pitch every time since copper carries...

i think you are interpreting it correctly. sprott's etf is promised to be backed, each and every share. SLV is not. people are realizing this hence the price difference.

*fart noises*

Does he ever post here to get into conversations or just to point to his website?

I hate to break it to you kid, but if you think there is any difference in the long-term destructiveness of the idiot-left wing and the idiot right wing, then you've been had. It's now all the same Kool-aid. Just one is red and one is blue. I used to hoard copper too. I realized it was...

I assume you're going to get them! I bet that auction goes for less than $1000NZD.

These look like a pretty good deal. I don't really have the capital to put towards buying them. http://www.trademe.co.nz/antiques-collectables/coins/asia/auction-433597926.htm
