Dave,

Just out of curiousity, I remember a lady in my old church who had a
silver cleaning pan which was I think made of magnesium. I forget what
you fill it with but all you had to do was dunk your silver and it
came out clean. I think she also used like borax and aluminum mixed
together in a glass jar which did something similar.

Do you know of these methods and would they be safe for historic pieces?

Thanks!
