<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Frank, post: 5618870, member: 5421&quot;]My father reclaimed pure silver from expended developer and fixer in a hospital x-ray department darkroom. He&#039;d manage to glean 10 or 12 pounds a year from a small town private hospital. Occasionally, he&#039;d sell it to a jeweler in town. When he passed away in 1994, he still had 20 or 30 lbs. We eventually sold it in the early 2000&#039;s, for under $5.00/oz. Wish I still had it.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, the jeweler he sold to had closed, and I had to find another buyer. No one wanted it because it was just a chunky black powder. I finally found a wholesaler that understood where it came from, and hence what it was. He tested a sample, and was happy enough to make a good (for the time) offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really though the bottom would fall out of the silver market as photography went digital. That&#039;s one reason I sold when I did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
