<p>[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 266665, member: 1331"]There is a cheaper (than X-ref) method of determining if something is solid silver. It's called a "precious metal verifier" and it measures the conductance of the material down to a depth of several millimeters. If you are buying a lot of gold and silver in the field it could be worth the $1400 or so.
