Analyses of items of church silver dating from 1760 were carried out by means of energy dispersive x-ray equipment. As no original Canadian silver was available at that time, all articles were made from remelted silver objects, coins and scrap. The results of the analyses performed by the authors show that the silver was generally of high quality. A chronological table accompanying the account lists works of silversmiths that were tested. Percentages indicate that the silver content ranged from 97.7 to 92.2, with Pb, Au, As and Zn appearing as trace elements.
