    Do a big melt(say ten or more ounces) and, from a hieght of about
    five feet, pour the molten silver through a stainless steel sieve
    into iced water. Use a very wide mouthed metal container for the
    water - a bucket will be too narrow. 

    Then it's sort, remelt, pour, sort, remelt, pour. 

    Pretty soon you'll find the right height and speed to make quite
    large quantities fairly fast.
