Ok I have raised this topic more than once, but now I have acid for testing silver. So I thought I would ask the pros for a bit of help in learning how to read my results.
Here is a nugget I picked up that most assume is junk. I ground a spot clean on my bench grinder revealing a shiny clean metal. I applied a drop of the test acid and the metal instantly turns black. Does this confirm silver?
