Hi all. I'm a retired metalsmith and lapidary guy. Found this forum and thought I'd read along with all your exploits. I got out of silver work when it kept hanging around $12 TO, feel sorry for anyone trying to make a living at it now, tho 32 today is better than the 40 it was recently. Anyway...I loaf a lot now in TN and buy the occasional slab to add to my collection. I hope every one has a great day hounding, polishing or whatever you do :)
