I'm going to guess that I didn't, because I don't even know what "popping" silver means. LOL

Like a baloon. You let it float and pop it with a pick.

Notably, if you gonna try it dont dig it out from the top, find the vein and dig from below it sideways, much faster. Some Veins are spawned inside rocks which spoil the fun but usually you still can dig those rocks mostly out to have it float properly.
