  15. Found On Beach - Piece of Silver, Pewter, other?

    Found this at the low tide line yesterday on beach in St. Augustine area. Is it old because of the shells stuck on it? Generally how long does something need to be in the water for this to happen? And, if old, why hasn't it corroded away (if it were iron)? I scraped and edge to show the metal...

    Hey everyone, this is my first post. I just finished looking through 10 half dollar bank rolls and found this...
