B5 - your silver item "hallmarked" 925 SISae is likely Israeli designed - there's quite a bit of budget-priced silver jewellery can be sourced online with those marks.

Israeli silver is still sweet silver though hey :Y: Seems like a nice quality made piece

Not so sweet

Someone went bungy jumping and forgot to tie the cord 8) Looks like I've gota find a whole one now
Now it's really schnapped

A shot or three should nearly get you over that (...and about 200ml of Araldite lol)

Sorry for your loss... 8.(

Coins came out good tho...what method? (still contemplating to/not do my 1851 6d)

What a bugger hey Gypsy ...The silvers were mild citric acid bath...no rubbing, a fine paint brush to help brush the dirt off
When you neutralize it either press it or soak it ....I avoid polishing totally...depends on the coin though
The 3p grey edged on me so is in salt and vinegar mix soaking, hopeful it'll come good

 

[GypsyGoldAu]

Thanks for that bloke, i was also contemplating electro-cleaning it, but i think common sense will prevail this time and i'll leave it as is...
I think i'd rather it depicted it's age... (i'm just concerned about further oxidation...)

Yours came out great, and looks like it's a good strike with fair condition... :Y:

 

[B5MECH]

Thanks Gypsy :Y: Smoky electro cleans some of his and come up awesome....mostly sea silver that's a pain

Yours looks like it'll have a cool patina under the dirt stain, even looking 8) maybe just a wash with soap and paint brush to get in the gaps

Give it a bit n they'll be comin in droves, you my friend, are getting there big time (all highways started out as a track).

 

[GypsyGoldAu]

B5...yeah, i might extend as far as a soapy water soak, as it was only dunked in straight water to get the 'dust/dirt' off, so soap should remove any oils that remain...

Beyond that, i have industrial solutions i use for electro-cleaning...

Racing for Jack Miller
Best wishes Champ

 

[Ramjet]

Sad news indeed. 8.(

 

[numpty]

yes bloody terrible news, it doesn't look very promising either. Great rider, great bloke, champion.

 

[SC75]

Yeah i'm a big MotoGP/Super bikes fan B5 and it is sad news. Nicky riding some of the fastest bikes in the world doing 350 plus clicks and this happens while cycling with some of his mates, it's a bit like what happened to Schumacher only he was skiing, just hope he pulls through.

 

[rocketaroo]

you found silver....mission success!
