    Larry, Set up a solderite board at about a 30-45 degree angle in a
    bowl of water.  Place either your casting grains or pieces of scrap
    silver on the board and hit them with the torch.  As they ball up
    they will roll down the board into the water and quench in ball
    form.  They will pickle with a satin finish, but I imagine a few
    minutes in a tumbler would shine them up nicely.
