Question about a 10 oz Englhard silver bar - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**JennaJJxoxoxo** · 12-12-2011, 11:02 AM

A friend of mine scuba diving found 3 10oz Englhard silver bars. ( form another friends boating accident. 8-)

The question is how many grams should the bars way?

I figured 300 grams each as a troy ounce is 30 grams. So 10 x 30 =300 Right, So why do they weigh 312 grams?

Is there a problem here?

**Michaelnewerb** · 12-12-2011, 11:06 AM

A troy ounce is 31.1 grams. Most bars are made slightly heavy to make sure they have enough. This one is only .3% heavy.

OK Thanks... Damn I am dumb... LOL I swore a troy oz was 30 grams... But you are correct and thanks for responding.

Hey- where was that scuba diving? I think those were mine.... (Although I never owned any that size).

Sounds like a nice find.

Are you kidding me? He really "found them scuba diving"?

Shit. That's awesome if it's true.

30 oz of silver! What a find! How did they look after being in the ocean for a long time? Tarnished at all?

**chelviweeme** · 12-12-2011, 02:59 PM

I'd love to know the story of how those ended up down there.

**Tveabuti** · 12-12-2011, 03:27 PM

the guy who buried a bunch in ponce's yard was probably just spreading the wealth around.

**muBXvWIC** · 12-12-2011, 03:32 PM

cmon man....not only did you get the weight wrong you spelled weigh wrong, and the story isn't even real.

LOFL...

**Matajic** · 12-12-2011, 04:15 PM

Chad? the ones that I found were on the rafter in my roof, 300 oz......same place where at one time I WAS keeping my emergency silver, about 2,000 oz......but the real McCoy is elsewhere............no one knows where that one is at and if I die before cashing them then who ever find them will be very rich......I did placed a bunch of ID with it so that they know who their benefactor is hahahahahahaahah.

**moopogyOvenny** · 12-12-2011, 04:40 PM

2,000 ounces is the emergency fund? wow!

**SergeyLisin** · 12-12-2011, 05:52 PM

**Zdmlscid** · 12-12-2011, 08:12 PM

he was cranberry harvesting in a bog with a trained pygmy rhino that he bought from a pudding maker on ebay that sniffs out precious metals!

OK Thats a lie... everything I say is a lie including what I just said! believe me! 8-)

**Catalogov** · 12-12-2011, 08:15 PM
