teddyt Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Whilst I have a few hobbies, R.C.is my main one,along with collecting Antique Silver. I have so far. got a collection of about 120 pieces, ranging from Cups,bowls,goblets to spoons/ladels of various sizes. Dating from 1700's to the 20th century mostly English, but also some from America and Europe. Does anyone else share this interest?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm sorry, I simply can't resist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddyt Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 yes prices have risen but not as much as gold (yet) but have read a report that industry needs 23 million ounces a year and at present the mines only produce 22 million ounces. so I'm in on the bottom floor for this one :whistling: :sweeeet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Plus if money went to its true value of paper you'd still have something to trade with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclingSalmon14 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) SHINY! Im like a raven or something I love shiny, although I think im more of a polished Ti man...Copper is neat to! I just think owning semi exotic metal is pretty cool...Id love a slab of silver or platinum but that would be insane money ahah.

Tamiyacowboy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Silver in solution , add a current and a cathode and anode ( small voltage and current ) electroplating silver - copper etc etc. smelting your not going to get the full amount of metals back. all the rubbish in it will turn to slag and will be scraped from the liquid. smithing is a form of art itself, taking rock and producing a metal in the old days was like witch craft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddyt Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 since the above pictures were taken I have been on a bit of a buying spree and outgrown my wall unit, so Mrs Teddyt got me this today (just to keep spoons in). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
