Seriously though. Basically he claims he went to a thrift store, and bought a one pound bar of silver for £3. A very good score (if it's real)

The one thing I LOVE about realcent is that the strings of threads are so easy to read!

Although I find that there is probably a LOT of good information on the other sites, such as the one referenced above, it is too confusing for me to decipher..

Yeah, I agree. I hate when "forum" sites are set up like that. I just don't see the point...

A few years ago I got a nice sterling serving bowl that is over 10 ounces for a couple dollars, so I do not doubt that this occurred. People who work in thrift stores can be totally ignorant of precious metals. They could have easily thought the bar was a base metal. Which it totally could be with all the Chinese fakes out there.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
