Silver plated? Not worth your time to extract. Plating puts such a small coating of silver on the object that the costs to extract it are more than any gains from the silver you are extracting.

That depends on the total weight and whether the flatware is sterling or silverplate. If it's silver plated, there's virtually no silver in it and what little there is is not recoverable.

Cleaning Silver with Dish Washers?

For many years, real silver flatware had to be cleaned by hand. The detergents used in dish washers contained chemicals that would cause real silver to form an unwanted patina of tarnish. In order to maintain its shine, silver that was cleaned in a washer had to be hand polished frequently. Today, most dish washer detergents use a milder formula that is safe for use on real silver flatware. Though silver must still be polished on occasion, it is less likely to cause silver to dull or patina with repeated use.

What do the numbers B1898 mean on your silver dish also 6 marks in squares M A C9 EP NS?

Okay - I'm no expert but... 1898 would suggest the year of manufacture. EP would suggest 'electroplating' - meaning the piece is not solid silver, but a thin veneer of pure silver electrostatically plated over a cheaper metal. NS suggests the base piece is made from an alloy of Nickel Silver.
