	(old silverware) which i promply took to an antique dealer, some of it was no good , some good, but...

I'll pick it up at the "... part", Bugar 

I can't even begin to try to recall how many "sanitation engineers" stop by my boothe at gold shows, and tell me of their hoard of silverware...hoping to learn sometime what to do with it.

They were so plumb inspiring with their tales of valuable scrap, I sat down and created a silverware recovery kit which easily removes the silver, then re-agglomerates the silver, and then returns it to hard silver ingots.

Your MIL was a smart ole bird, I'd say. 

Thanx for sharing that kool story Bugar, yer gran sounds like a pretty nice ol' gal to be fixin' ya up like that, while she could still manage her treasures. Did ya take any notice of what the guy buyin' her stuff was sayin' was the good stuff? I usually go by the weight of it in my hand, plus after a while you just get to know how to spot good silver. However, most places I've ever checked, they simply downplay everything and treat you like you were born yesterday when it comes to handing out the coin for it. So, with that said, I think you did well, scoring a Cnote for yer gran's collection of salvaged silverware from that dealer.
