    I suspected someone who had technical knowledge would post on why
    nickle is not used in sterling silver. So my original point was a
    rant about the spreading of misinformation 

    how it happens, and how hard it is to educate the public when there
    are people continuing to perpetuate the spread of information that 
has
    no basis in reality. So my question now is, what metal was Amery
    receiving from her 30 years of experience caster who could not do
    what he said he was doing? Was it sterling? I have mixed contaminents
    accidently when casting. There is usually a hard to ignore change in
    the characteristic of the metal. And the resulting casting had
    something wrong that made the castings unusable. So I wonder, what
    was this guy doing?
