<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 339962, member: 5515"]The last two weeks have been pretty busy at work, so I haven't had as much time as I would like to get on the forum. I've still managed to sneak away and visit stores in my quest for more of this wonderful metal we call silver. Up until today, I had some modest finds in the last two weeks. But as I was visiting a store today, I saw a little platter. When I first saw it, it definitely didn't look real. It was off in a section of the store with cups and dishes and I almost didn't pick it up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once I picked it up, and flipped it over, I noticed it had an inscription on the back. Directly below the inscription, I saw "SILVER." I'm a bit cautious (perhaps after my spoon mistake), so I bought it and acid tested it to be sure..yup it's definitely silver! The platter was my best find in the last two weeks. It weighs 212 grams and it cost me $1.48! I haven't gotten around to polishing it all, but the platter was too pretty to leave tarnished. I hope you enjoy the photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]114234[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]114235[/ATTACH]</p><p> [ATTACH=full]114237[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]114238[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]114239[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]114240[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
