    I have only sent metal to be refined once, and only silver (I'm happy
    to say, I did it at pretty much peak price!) I sent it to Hoover &
    Strong because of recommendations here and because I buy from them.
    It all went quite smoothly, but I made a stupid mistake, si I'll fess
    up to save others. I forgot about the difference between ounces and
    troy ounces. I had 100 ounces, which gets you a higher rate of return
    than a lesser amount. However, I did *not* have 100 troy ounces, so I
    got 10% less value back. I could have looked around for a bit more
    scrap and made up the difference if I'd thought of it. This cost me
    about $120, I think, maybe more. Grrr.
