Dear Ronald

    Welcome to this one of the nicest forums on the www, or should I say
    THE nicest. 

    Years I experienced something very similar and found out that my
    melt had been contaminated with tin. Even very minute parts of tin in
    your silver will make it extremely hard (and brittle). Could that be
    the case?
