OK, been reading these educational postings for a while now, and just finished 
my
first batch of silver; about 3 quarts. I will have more production as better 
containers
become available.

Setup is:
1. 1quart glass pickle jar for "process".
2.  24 volt DC adapter, cost $ 5.00 at Tulsa flea market
3.  2 alligator clips, $ .85 from eBay
4.  1 gallon jug for storage, $6.95 at flea market
5.  1 spring loaded Speaker clip from eBay
6.  2  six inch pieces .9999 silver wire, $ 12.80
7.  1 "Lubber" TDS meter, $ 9.95

The meter tells me the resultant water is 7 ppm, it is clear.
Made the silver in three batches of various quantity, 
time 1.45 to 2.0 hours.
Costs for shipping not included. 

Hope this doesn't bore all you experts.
Thanks for all the excellent posts.

I also picked up a 24 volt AC adapter. Anyone ever tried this?
