Here's what I've taught myself in the past year to look for silver hunting. You need to know a great deal on markings for this to work but if you find an item that has a mark that was never seen by you in the past and the mark just looks ''weird'' when you look at it with your amount of knowledge on what you've learned...in my opinion there's a greater chance that item is actually sterling silver item that is not plated. Also...look for items that look like they were made with a hammer....this is a self taught skill that a person has to learn but well worth it!

Goodwill, The Salvation Army, and Red Racks all have people who spend all day checking for gold and silver items. Your best bet are small privately owned thrift shops and yard sales. I got real lucky about 5 years ago when silver was at $30 an ounce! I had just lost my job, and was wondering where I was going to get the money to pay my re taxes. I was depressed, but wanted to check out a new little thrift store that opened near me. I went in, looked around, but there was mostly junk...EXCEPT for the wooden chest in the showcase! I asked to see the box and its contents. Lo and behold it was a service for 8 of sterling silver flatware! I asked the lady behind the counter how much it was, then she told me the owner wasn't there now and would be back in 20 minutes. So I looked around, and when he came back and she asked him how much it was. He told me he would have to check with his friend at the pawn shop across the street. Well I figured at that point and might as well forget it. But he came back and told me $200. The guy at the pawn shop obviously didn't know his job either! LOL Trying to curb my enthusiasm, I asked him what he take $135, because the box was full of dead roaches besides. He took a hundred $135 for it, and I got $1,200 at the scrapper! I also sold the box on eBay 50 bucks! Needless to say I paid my real estate taxes! I wish Silver would go back up to 30 bucks an ounce!

not far off...people just pull up, load a table and sell away...in those cases, both were fully hallmarked, the first case they knew it was 9kt but whereas I visit London enough to sell to the refiners compared to the pawnbrokers and jewellers who offer less but the other must have missed the mark but the hallmark was on one end of a torque bangle so it must have been checked by someone holding the marked area...other than that I have found a few gutter pieces and an odd pair of 9kt yellow gold and pearl earrings in the same charity shop for £1 they were unmarked (no backs so unmarked) but the colour and tone looked right compared to my ring in the same grade, I checked the pearls using the tooth test and it was worth the gamble so I acid tested them and both came back positive

From experience genuine silver flatware is identified by heating up a bowl of very hot soup. Place flatware into bowl and wait a minute. Genuine silver will transfer heat to handle as hot as the soup. Plate silver, stainless steel etc won't get hot.

There is quite a lot of silver plate hollow-ware that is worth money(certainly more than you would pay at the thrift store). The key is finding old pieces in good condition. Popular vintage American Silverplate makers, are Wm. Rogers, Oneida, and International Silver, these companies for the most part only made silverplate and not sterling. If a piece is in immaculate condition it's value is usually 10X what you would pay in the thrift store. Modern silverplate is essentially worthless, but 100 year old silverplate is not..Anything that is clearly marked sterling is not even making it out on the floor is most thrift shops...

Kenneth Scott My wife used to work at our local Goodwill store and they had a huge box in the back room where they were instructed to put anything valuable or if they were uncertain about it. This stuff never made it to the floor, when the box got full they would have truck pick it up and take it to their home office. No one knew what happened to it after that. Also, any computers automatically went into that box...! We couldn’t believe it...! Here people donated stuff out of the goodness of their hearts thinking that they were going to be helping others with their donations and many items never even made it to the floor...

@Micks336, Nobody is forced to work anyplace. Goodwill does actually help people get back up on their feet or give folks a job that otherwise wouldn't be employable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a company making money. It's sad that so many people feel they're owed something from a company that takes all the risk in running a business and the employees take zero risk, but feel like they should share in the profits from said business, but I would be a lot of money that if the business lost money those same people sure as hell wouldn't be jumping up and down to hand over money to help the business stay open. So zero risk for the employee but gets a paycheck no matter what. The business owner gets to reap the rewards during good times and takes it in the shorts during bad times. I suggest anyone that thinks they're owed something should go start a business and see how hard it actually is. Grow up and learn how the world actually works, nobody owes you anything.

I carry a small flashlight and two different magnifiers so I can see the marks. If they use the small hallmarks, sometimes you need magnification to make them out, at least I do. Much of the silver I find is not polished up, it's black with age, so sometimes reading the marks is really tough. Silver, sterling or otherwise, will corrode to black eventually. in fact, if it's super shiny, it kinda tell me it's not silver at all, but I do look, some people, like me will polish the silver they find.

One thing i've noticed is that real sterling pieces are surprisingly light, as they are made much thinner because of the cost of silver. I find that a similarly sized silver-plated item is much thicker and heavier than the real thing would be. Obviously, there are some items that are sterling, but are also weighted inside, like many candle holders and vanity sets, but i'm referring to serving plates and the like that wouldn't be.

You can't entirely rely on wear marks. It can look worn just like silver but it's plated. Nickel silver is sometimes used as base metal instead of the usual brass. The advantage it that wear marks are not an eye sore - but silver it ain't. Also depending on your are do yourself a favor an learn the neighbor countries hallmarks too. Sterling silver everybody knows so that is quite are to find. But you can relatively often find odd finenesses like .813 (Finland) or 830/835 (Germany etc.).

1:47 🕵‍♂ Look for marks like "925" or "sterling" to identify sterling silver items, while "95" or "coin silver" indicate 90% silver content. 2:32 💡 Reflecting light on items can reveal markings and help differentiate between silver and non-silver items. 3:01 🧐 Scrutinize wear marks, corrosion, and details to assess the authenticity and quality of silver items. 5:01 💰 Consider buying silver-plated items for their copper content if available at a low price. 5:54 🛢 Beware of items labeled "sterling weighted," which may only have a thin layer of sterling silver wrapped around a non-precious metal core.

What you missed was the sound of the pieces. That ringing sound is copper, silver is much more dead sounding. Second thing is turn flat pieces on their bottoms and look for wear through, if it shows layers, and possibly copper, it's plate, saves time over looking for marks. That said I got fooled by a pair of candle sticks I bought at a thrift store. Both were plated. Turns out (I didn't look) they were sterling. I sold them for a small profit, then saw the identical sticks in a museum. Could have kicked myself. People sometimes had sterling pieces plated because they didn't want to deal with the tarnish.... Go figure.

The Magnet test. Must use strong earth (Neodymium) magnet available at some of your local hardware shops. For flatware and hollow ware any strong attraction will indicate NOT silver for sure. However if the item does not attract to the magnet it still may NOT be silver as the base metal is not ferrous ( iron ). Silver jewelry can present a problem. First any very strong attraction usually indicates not silver. Again if it is not magnetic it still may NOT be silver and will acquire another test or approach for determination. Much of the newer silver jewelry on the market may give a slight weak tug with the strong earth magnet. This is often interpreted by many people as not being silver even if it is marked sterling or 925. In some of these cases ( you be the judge )what is happening is that the item is real silver but you are picking up some magnetic properties due to the process of rhodium plating which is used to coat the silver surface in an effort to to give it a very high shine and protection against oxidation.What is producing this weak tug is the nickel plating which is used as a buffer plating before the rhodium plating is finally used. Direct rhodium plating over silver can eat away at the silver ( if nickel buffer plating is not used ) because the rhodium plating is done in an acidic solution. I also surmise that the plating processes of nickel and maybe even rhodium may contain small amounts of iron which may contribute to this light magnetic attraction. Of course the ultimate teat ( which is not always feasible ) is to cut a notch in a hidden area of the jewelry piece and test with your usual silver testing solution.

A better magnet test is to slide it on the flatware to see if it slows down quickly. If it does it is more likely to be silver, though it could still be silvery plated copper. It slides at different speeds depending on conductivity. The more conductive, the larger the charge the magnet is giving the metal slowing down the magnet.

First there are a ton of people going into thrift stores looking for silver in the silver plate stack. Usually for most in my opinion there is not much luck most the time. Its just my experience that if you are not lucking out enough or hardly at all even when considering the time involved it may be more beneficial to just buy the silver in coin or bullion form straight from your local trusted coin dealer.This process would be more beneficial to those that are considering hoarding or even wanting to make a profit ( if the controlled silver price does and when takes off to the stratosphere ). With the time saved you can do other things .

Its easy, the donators just have to miss or not care that they are donating Sterling. Then the thrift store needs to miss that the piece is Sterling and prices it normally at like $5.99, while making sure they put the sticker directly over the Sterling mark. Then you just have to be the first person to find it. For me, the hard part is remembering all the platters that you looked at the day before.

What about eagle(facing left)wm Rogers with the m underlined and a five point star. 🦅 Wm Rogers ⭐ 4082 I'm thinking silver plate but not certain.

I just received a silver tea set that belonged to my grandmother. The family always thought it was sterling silver, but after researching the markings I found out it is silver plated. Still beautiful in detail though. It is from the Birmingham Silver Company that was bought many years ago. Can it be cleaned using regular silver polish cleaner? I have seen a lot of videos online where you take the piece and soak it in hot boiling water with salt, baking soda and aluminum foil. I don't want to mess up the set. What do you recommend on how to clean the set? The tray is very heavy and is a rectangular waiters tray with handles and lots of detail. Thank you!!

Don't use the baking soda method. I tried that once on an old silver plated sugar and creamer set and it took the plating right off.

If there is an "E" in the marking it is electroplate not pure. a number can be associated with sterling= 925, which is an English purity standard or other country use different purity standards like IE: 800

@Eliot22785 3 күн бұрын

It just means International Silver, the parent company, and it almost always means that the item is plated.

If it has copper showing thru then it is absolutely silver played which is recoverable but yet still has silver on it

I found a piece the other day, as I am just starting to sell on ebay. Question I have is the piece I bought for $1.99 says Sheridan Silver with 3 hallmarks, a crown, a S, and something that I can't tell what it is. Have you heard of Sheridan?

@issis666 5 жыл бұрын

Just Google "Sheridan Silver" ... lots of info and comparative pricing links. Also, many sites show and explain Silver and SP markings. Here's one: www.925-1000.com/silverplate_S2.html
