    They are almost pure silver. The solution (guessing here) was
    probably silver nitrate, recovered either from the developing
    solution, or stripped off of the x-ray sheets. When I was doing
    chemical photography, it was common to see advertisements for people
    purchasing used developer for the express purpose of stripping out
    the accumulated silver nitrate. At the very least they are worth
    processing for scrap from a refiner.
