Does heat travel faster in water or silver spoon?

If you had a spoon and heated one end of it the other end would get hot more quickly than if you heated one end of some water in the same shape as a spoon (not easy!!) and measured the heat at the other end of that. This is because the conductivity of silver is greater than that of water. However, if you had a column of water and heated the bottom, the top would get warm fairly quickly because of, not only conduction, but also convection, where the hot water rises and the cold water comes down. Silver does not move like this so the heat transfer by convection would be zero.
