hey what's up guys YouTube I am the silver guy okay and I've done a bunch of videos on how to
get silver for free from Publix you might want to check that out on how to get solar for cheap
I've many many different ways about how to get silver ok and today what I want to show you is
this you walk into a dude store you're going to probably see up like a ton of just whatever and
if you don't know what you're doing you're going to be like oh it might be silver you don't know
what to buy you don't know what the marks are and there's so many marks it might be a pig's head or
what does that mean it might be someone on the throne well that's English sober what about nine
five oh that's um that's English silver as well okay that's like the sterling but um there's so
many marks if you don't know what is good what to look for or even how to look at it and some
of this it gets tarnished and you don't really know so come here and I can show you a way to
quickly find the marks on this okay so here's something that you might find at a goodwill or
a thrift store so what you do is you want to take this and you want to turn it in the light do you
understand see like that so you're you turn it and what's going to happen is you're going to
see if there's writing on it you can help you see it quicker so if we're turning it okay can you see
that right there so let me zoom in here or look come in here closer and what should we want to
see okay that says Onita okay it is not this is not sterling now there could be marks up on the
edge there could be marks you know somewhere on the on the handles so if you want to hold that
for me sir come over here cause remember these so I mean when you're looking at this you got to
be careful because there could be marks almost anywhere and sometimes on a like a silver plate
or a platter like there might be marks here here here and maybe even here okay so what one thing
that you look for so that's not so much one thing you look for is you look for 925 okay
that means sterling that means out of a thousand parts 925 those parts are silver and the rest is
copper okay um it can be nine five oh it can say sterling it can say stir it can say STG there is
a ton of stuff it might say nine hundred that's coins silver basically that's the same thing as
like coins 90% silver so there's just so much so 990 be very careful that some stuff from other
countries might be 80 something percent so so this I can just tell me is so like it feels cheap
as you can see rust coming this is absolutely not silver okay put that here now guys um so
here we take this right here and I can just tell this is this is definitely not silver so we just
kind of spin it in the light and we look and then there we go so basically guys I want you to get is
when you're in a thirst or sometimes it's dark you just want to kind of like reflect it in the light
like this and wait until like right there boom okay that is the key because this silver gets
really really tarnished okay Onita that is not it either so guys when you're in the dust or remember
another thing to look for is look for where marks can you see the copper showing through right here
this is silver plate with copper coming through okay where it's been sitting down that is a big
giveaway guys that this is not silver so can you see this if I'm doing this can you see it can you
show can you see it it's right there see that boom see how the light makes it show up right there WM
Rogers okay it does not say sterling ster st g95 oh also there's a line with his right paw raised
a walking line with his right paw raised that's another one um so here we go and I mean this is
just obviously metal but we can just do it just for show you just kind of go like this I don't
know this thing is so cheap I don't even know if even has writing on it okay no now guys I want
you to know that if you found something like this okay and it was sterling it would be like you know
hitting like the jackpot okay I've actually been in goodwill and I found a platter for
$3.99 if my memory serves me correctly so it was probably around 425 with tax and it was sterling
it was a huge platter okay so you really want to pay attention to these platters okay and one
thing you want to like look at when you're going for silver is like how detailed is it does the
detail just jumped out at you just look at like something you know really spectacular so we take
this and kind of you know don't forget to do the light this way too is you look at it and then you
can look for wear marks in here okay where there might have been stuff sitting on it you look look
at the scratch marks is you know see if there's like copper or brass showing through the scratch
marks also guys remember there is such a thing as white brass okay if you have silver and then white
brass you might just you know it looked like to scratch or something you might think it's still
silver okay so what we're doing is we're going can you see this you go do the light like this
and can you see right here can you see that see when you catch the light to it right there what
does that say it says silver on copper can you see that so guys that means it is copper okay now if
you get this for cheap enough you might build a buy it for the copper also a quick tip guys
if you had map gas you could actually melt the silver off but then you have a cost because you
had the map gas that you had to pay for you know propane I don't think it gets quite hot enough
so here's another one guys so we look at this you look for wear marks you turn it in the light look
for anything that jumps out you like you know it might be like you're riding on it okay any wear
marks anything also guys look for corrosion that's another sign okay but just remember that there
might be you know it might look a little slightly corroded if it's like a lower grade silver okay so
right here can you see this can you look at this as you're going and you're spinning it in the
light and you're looking can you see that right there right here WM Rogers okay you guys this
is not sterling either okay also guys sometimes you see something like this now obviously this
looks is probably Kalume immersing but sometimes you'll see something like with the base like this
in silver and it will say sterling weighted guys what that means is there's like a little wrap of
sterling about as thick as a you know coca-cola can like a round plaster and it's got metal in
there and stuff so it's not don't get all excited it feels like pow and you think you bought a pound
of silver because it's very it's about an ounce like a candle stick something is like an ounce
