Silver questions

I would like to know how silver is extracted, without going into a grave amount of detail if possible. I would like to know who discoverd silver, when and where. Some characteristics of silver are also very important to me.

Sincerly,

Silver was discovered before the invention of writing, so we don't know the discoverer's name, but I suppose it could be Digger Agmine if you need a name, Zennique. Do you have any silver jewelry or use silver flatware? Looking at it and comparing it to other things should give you a start on some characteristics. Are those characteristics of silver important to you? Please do some portion of your report yourself, then upload it and we'll if we can help :-)

Good luck with the report.
