Ken,
If you do silver recovery, then run the paper through some fix
appropriate for the quantity of paper and run the fix through your
silver column.  You might have 30 grams of silver in two hundred sheets.

Subject: [Leica] Question about old photo paper

I'm about to move, and in doing the sorting/packing routine I turned
up several boxes of photo paper that must be 25+ years old. Whats the
best thing to do with it ? I'm assuming by now it is worthless to
print on. So should I just put it in the landfill? Or does it pay to
try to recover the silver in the emulsion?
