Hello All. I found this a few days ago at the seashore. At first I thought it to be a piece of junk brass because of the weight and lack of corrosion.
When I got home I carefully scraped on it a bit and uncovered the design pictured. Seeing the cross pattern I STOPPED SCRAPING!!
This piece is really weird because appears to be cut as a symmetric triangle except at the bottom where it looks broke off. It varies in thickness from about 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch and it is not magnetic. The "cross" pattern is offset from the center of the piece as if it was hand-stamped and it has the look of old Spanish silver pieces that I see on the net. The back is completely covered with a tough sand accretion.
I am not a beach hunter, in fact this is my first serious beach hunt thanks to Btoots...thanks Btoots! So what do you think do we have Spanish silver and HOW DO I CLEAN THIS THING
Thanks for the view an any info is appreciated. C9
