[Jewelry making - Article 00919] - [Orchid] Retrieving silver from a nitric acid bath

    I am dissolving a lot of silver in a 2:1 / water : nitric acid bath.
    How does someone go about getting the dissolved silver back from a
    nitric acid bath? 

    Is this a process that requires a lab? 

    I'm not familiar with ferric chloride. Does the etched silver just
    settle to the bottom or does that also dissolve? 

    I'm not etching gold yet, but for future reference... How does
    someone retrieve gold from an acid bath? 

    Thank you Cynthia for your response in my last etching question.
