TheWoWDBAt the time of this writing, there seems to be a bug where if you turn in the quest while mounted, you will not get the silver weapons buff. I do not know if logging off and on fixes it, but to be safe, dismount first.

I actually ran out of silver nuggets laying on the ground outside of the mine, and the quest outline on the minimap doesn't show they will spawn inside the mine, but if you go inside the mine, there is in fact a lot of the silver nuggets on the ground.
Collect 10 [item=156722] around the mine east of Watchman's Rise

Description
{class}, I have another objective we should consider. The Bleak Hills Mine is not too far from our location. Though the miners there principally extract iron, they do on occasion find silver among the veins. We do not know the current state of the mine, but it's unlikely that the coven has passed it over. However, it would be worth braving whatever dangers lie there to recover some silver to use against them.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Steady Ballast
The Armory presents us a ripe opportunity, <class>... one I suggest we take. If this battle were to draw out, we have little means to repair our arms and armor. A blacksmith is invaluable to any war effort, and Ballaster is one of our best. The Armory is but a short ride from here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Improvised Arsenal
I don't know much about blacksmithing, but I'm pretty sure this won't be enough silver to outfit all of the Inquisitors. We will need to find another way to use this. Let us hope that Ballaster can come up with something... creative.
