I used a lot of silver maple leafs when I first started making CS. They
provided an inexpensive source of very pure (9999) silver. However, I found a
number of problems in using them. The main problem was the fact that the
surface is irregular. There are many nooks and crannies where the silver ions
are too close together, forming larger particles than would the case with a
smooth surface. They were also very difficult to clean after a run, requiring
the use of my Dremel with a wire brush. When I finally got the 9999 wire made
I found that I could run the process at the same current and surface area for a
much longer time before it starts turning yellow. This means that I have put
more silver into the water (ionic and colloidal) while maintaining a relatively
small particle size.
Best regards,

Sorry Marshall, I must have missed that post when I was looking to buy
silver. Oh well, even at the price I paid I think it is worth it as the CS I
made so far has more than paid for those pieces of silver. Incidently is your
son in Canada and how could one get ahold of him to buy more coins because as
more people get interested in making their own CS, I
would refer them to your son.
Thanks, Dennis
