Testing
Not unless you have a testing stone and some nitric acid and potassium dichromate.They call it JSP in jewelry stores. You can take a small sample by the jewelry store and maybe they can test it for you.

maybe not silver...
i think that it might only be slag from mining operations years ago because some of the stuff i found was in the shape of a stringy rivlet...perhaps zinc ...but still gonna have someone else look at it. still neat to see it flash in my pan though! later! c
