The Māori myth of creation involves Ranginui and Papatūānuku, also known as the Sky Father and Earth Mother, respectively. Their 70 children, all gods, all lived in pitch-black darkness within their parents’ loving embrace. The children decided to separate their parents allowing them to be free and let light shine into their world.

Silver Tips to keep you relatively safe:

1. Silver should weigh 31.1 to 31.8 grams - any heavier it probably is fake, any lighter it probably is fake. The mint will almost never have it lighter than 31.1 as they don't want to cheat you out of silver, they also will most likely not make it heavier than 31.8 to not "give away" free silver. (You can purchase a cheap digital scale here on eBay, you just need a small one weighing grams to the 100th, i.e., 31.18).

2. Get a strong magnet, small and circular in size (can be found at any electronics store or even here on eBay). Hold your silver piece at a 90-degree angle with magnet at the top and let the magnet slide down the surface. If it falls off or slides rapidly, it's probably fake. If it sticks, it's probably fake. It should just glide down the piece almost purposely (sort of slow and controlled, but not too slow). Practice a bit and you will get the hang of it.

3. Hold a piece of known silver on the tip of your finger and balancing it, take another piece and give it a little tap. You should hear a nice bell ringing tone. If it clinks it probably isn't real.
