Best score I had picked up an old one hour photo lab the silver reclaimer was very heavy so I told the guy that he should send it in for refining. Told me to keep it, $1800.00 worth of silver.
The reclaimer is filled with steel wool as the spent chemicals pass through the reclaimer an ion exchange takes place leaving the silver behind as a black sludge.
Even after suggesting to the guy that he should send it in for refining he still told me to keep it, I gave up long ago trying to figure people out.
X-ray labs will have similar canisters while dental offices use a heavy metal trap, when my buddy from Saskatchewan purchased a building once used as a dental clinic he gave me box's full of the old traps.
The traps are full of precious metals, blood and bone matter and stink to high heaven when opened, had to retort the mercury out before going after the silver, gold and platinum groups.
