Frank Perhaps just putting some freshly scrubbed silver sheet or wire into 50ml of water, cover and leave for a week or so.
I have some silver powder salvaged from the cathode of one of my batches, I shall put it into some DW and leave for a while and test it with the ISE. The ISE may not be able to measure the low concentrations one might expect, but it is worth a try.
