Is there a way to remove the silver from silverplated silverware?

Question

My friend cam across a bunch of old silverplated silverware and I was wondering if there is a way to separate the silver from the rest of the metal?

Answer 1

I know that film developing chemicals remove silver but how to get it back I do not know but there is a way.

Answer 2

There is some chemical harvesting process. If I had paid better attention in chemistry I could probably tell you. Try asking this question again in the science catagory.
