    An easy way to identify solder ghosts on silver is to hold the piece
    up against white paper in good light and examine the surface. Solder
    is more yellow in color and stands out. You can also heat the piece
    lightly. The solder will darken more than the silver. There are
    commercial products available too that can be painted on to reveal
    solder seams in silver or gold. 

Good luck!
