Review you are responding to
I went to see Recycle frog when they held a gold & silver session in Carp. I was NOT impressed with their representative at all. They might be OK for run-of-the-mill, modern precious metal items, but do NOT waste your time taking any unmarked antiques, such as ancient silverware. Their rep tried to tell me that the ONLY way to determine an unmarked item's silver content was to do a destructive acid test. An acid test is OK for scrap metals, but not for an item that may have more value than its metal content, if sold as an antique. I asked why they couldn't use specific gravity - after all, Archimedes figured this out over 2000 years ago and I would expect someone in the precious metal appraising business to at least have heard about specific gravity before - but apparently not this guy! When I tried to explain what specific gravity meant, his snarky comment was "do you see any water water here?" Well, OK then! To be fair, they deal mainly with scrap metals and I did show up only a few minutes before their closing time, but nevertheless; I would have expected more expertise and a somewhat more polite and professional reply.
