Completely forgot to take a picture of the whole piece but it weighed more than expected for its size and awesome for 3 dollars. 2.39 ozt

I did.... however.... get a photo of the hallmark for the tnetter that likes the hallmarks...!

Nice chunk of mangled silver
 

Yeah some weighed silver can yeild more than expected. Especially the ones with just a small weighted base. You just gotta eyeball em I guess. Did it once look like this?

I get a *lot* more for most hollow handles if I get them "cleaned up" before they go to scrap, I see it as a good opportunity to work out any pent-up angst lol. I can usually manage with a hammer from beginning to end but a couple-few times bench vises & spinny air tools have had to get involved.
 

Is it worth pealing those weighted Silver? I've picked up a few over the last few months. I don't like them, they take up more room than they are worth. I don't have a regular scrapper (Generally, I sit on Silver when I find it). Should I peal and scrap them, Just leave them, Peal and keep them? What are your thoughts?
 

Nice size silver...keep adding to the pile, congrats! :occasion14:
