Silver Antiquities
Silver is a chemical element with the symbol "Ag" (Latin: argentum, from the Ancient Greek: ἀργήντος - argēntos, gen. of ἀργήεις - argēeis, "white, shining" ) and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal. It occurs as a pure free metal (native silver) and alloyed with gold (electrum), as well as in various minerals, such as argentite and chlorargyrite. Most silver is produced as a by-product of copper, gold, lead, and zinc mining.
Silver has been known since ancient times and has long been valued as a precious metal, used to make ornaments, jewellery, high-value tableware and utensils (hence the term "silverware") and currency coins. Today, silver metal is used in electrical contacts and conductors, in mirrors and in catalysis of chemical reactions. Its compounds are used in photographic film and dilute solutions of silver nitrate and other silver compounds are used as disinfectants. Although the antimicrobial uses of silver have largely been supplanted by the use of antibiotics, further research into its clinical potential is in progress.

New Mexico Treasure TalesReviewsNew Mexico Treasure Tales by W. C. Jameson is a small treasure within itself. This is the type of book you could easily read within a couple of hours of straight reading, but...not the type; you would want to. This is a fun book, a book filled with an array of lost-treasure stories that manipulate and tease the imagination. Based on all true events, the author gives the reader just enough of the alleged story lines to let them know that there were real people involved in the loosing of these very real treasures. Like the Sirens' calling to Ulysses, the reader is drawn deeper into the enchanted lands of New Mexico. Unlike the more serious focused treasure hunting books such as: "What Men Call Treasure: The Search for Gold at Victorio Peak" by David Schweidel and Robert Boswell, or the classic Atocha find by Mel Fisher, this book still allows the reader to dream without sinking into the quicksand of financial ruin, State and Federal tax responsibilities, or... becoming choked to death by legal law-suits if, one were "lucky" enough to find a treasure. New Mexico Treasure Tales lets the reader keep that small portion of an "Indiana Jones" persona and still continue to go about the drudgeries of everyday life. This is the type of book you should take with you along to the doctor's office, a business trip, a vacation, or....to keep by your bedside. Where ever you may go, this is a nice little companion to carry along. Enjoy this read!! This books makes you feel like you can go and find the treasure yourself. It is a book of stories of treasures in New Mexico. It is a fascinating read with enough detail to keep it interesting anad yet not too much detail that you get bogged down while reading it. Each chapter is a short story or a short essay about one treasure. This is a good book to use for ideas of exploring underexplored areas of New Mexico. It is an enjoyable read. Average Rating: |
