Marshall,

Data was noted at : http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search
 (and selected 'silver') It would appear I merged two items
together when saying it produced silver (see below / silv... /).
I could not locate the other ref. to flame, fulminate...............Sorry
about that, do you have an online address for a good chemical
reference book(s)!

"Contact of metallic silver and sol silver cmpd with acetylene
may cause formation of silver acetylide that is sensitive to
shock. Contact with ammonia may cause formation of cmpd
that are explosive when dry. Contact with strong hydrogen
peroxide solutions will cause violent decomp to oxygen gas.

Henry,
The fulminate I made was 50 years ago (when I was allowed
to paint doorknobs) - think I used tinxture of mercurochrome
and it did not hurt but felt like a cap going off. If you have a 
dog that might lick  the doorknob it may not be a good idea!

How easily we drift of topic, but all work and no play..........!
