Silver had a very good day, jumping almost 6.5% to close at $33.68. While that's far from its all time high, it did set a new long term high.

In related news, I bought a sterling silver spoon with a wooden handle at auction Thursday. My wife will be picking it up Saturday so I'll finally get to see how big it is. Spoons like this that aren't 100% sterling can't be assigned a weight by the auction house, so it's a bit of a gamble. But it looks to me to be fairly big... around 1 Troy oz of metal is my guess. With silver above $33/oz, my $12 purchase is bound to be a good deal.. As you can see, below, it's not a conventional spoon. I'll probably stick the "bowl" portion onto a scale while trying to have the handle supported off scale - just to get a feel, even if inaccurate, for the spoon's metal content and worth.
