The little boots one was definitely either steel or lead, i have a pair of them, they are mad heavy!

I’m pretty sure they were brass as there was no chemical reaction at all and solid brass is very heavy aswell

That's cool. For some reason I figured it would still look like copper, with silver plating only being 7% of the make-up. Good to know though. It has a nice color to it. I have a bunch myself, I may have to melt some down. Nice goin'.

You can get cool effects by pickling low silver and gold alloys in a weak acid. The acid disolves the surface copper without touching the silver/gold.

2:13 how lucky are you that this did not blow up a soon as you put that in? I did something similar with a small copper elbow and had molten metal blow all over the place.

I detected zinc smoldering andthe video showed a piece melting quite quickly like aluminum so I would bet you have copper, brass, aluminum and a possibility of pewter but from what I read pewter is to costly to silver plate.its a " pot luck pour!"

It’s so interesting to watch this pour. I’m so accustomed to aluminum that seeing something silvery but without the same surface tension is hard to process in my head. Great video Ipswich!

Does the silver pour out first, guessing that the copper is heavier and takes longer to melt? What is the material that the silver is covering?

@@meltingipswich how about cutting one in half? Or cut the end off so we can see if it layered.

Why would you not refine the silver out? From what I see the items on the table were more valuable as antiques. For instance I have sold the small boots for around €10 and €30 for a pair. Some plated items still have value, not a lot but more than low end scrap as has been noted. But a nice job on the smelting and the ingots.

You could recover the silver from surface first, then melt.

I melted these for a friend and I just done what he asked me to do

Before you melt this kind of stuff take a grinder & see if its Copper, Brass or stainless, You have Lead + Pewter Contamination, No scrap yard will buy them as Cu Or Brass maybe Lead as they pay the lowest, Some are made of brass with Lead handles, Also since your melting Lead mixtures check & see if your filters are rated for Lead?

@@meltingipswich maybe mention that in the beginning when you noted it was for a friend that they didn't want the silver separated and this is not a method for anyone wanting to properly separate the silver from the rest of the metals. It SHOULD be obvious but there are some very clueless people on this planet.
