I also have been given qiute a lot of old fogged over the past few years. I
have been considering the feasibility of placing sheets in a couple paper
washers filled with fixer, and then extracting the silver in an electrolytic
recovery unit. I have finally found a source of silver estimating paper that
measures in the range of 1 to 10 grams per liter, but have not worked out other
things like how long to soak the paper to extract as much silver as is
practical with once-in-a-while agitation and how long I would need to run my
recovery unit to remove as much silver as possible. And whether I can end up
with enough silver to make this project worthwhile with the price of silver
what it is now, or will be when I am ready to cash in. Not to mention the cost
of the sodium thiosulfate, which I think I can acquire pretty inexpensively in
a large quantity from a local swimming pool supply shop---they use it to
deplete chlorine from pool water before dumping to waste.
What is a trickle tank?
Thanks for any thoughts people might be able to share about this.

Subject: [pure-silver] Silver recovery
Hi again,
I was given a huge amount of paper recently that was fogged from old
age, years ago. I would like to recover some of the silver from it and
wondered what experience we have with trickle tanks?
Can I make my own, or would I do better finding a commercial product?
Where might I source such a beast?
Thank you again,
Robert Hall
