Found it today beside a early 1813 token, old and crude, looks bird like. Lead or pewter as it's heavy. IMG_20151113_210021832_HDR.jpg

Drop some nitric acid on it, let's see if it's silver or not.

Nice find and by the way, I'm making latex gloves with your fingerprints on them. If the police knock on your door, surrender peacefully.

With guys like you I always try leave a little missing on each one. Will nitric help erase the print problem? :laughing7:

Looks like a gator to me with the rear-end melted:icon_scratch:, dull silver like color? maybe a lead sinker or maybe a mangle tire balance lead? Drop it in a cup of water :coffee2:to measure the mass, then weight it. That will tell you if its lead, silver, or what ever.:occasion14:

What's your favorite beer up there. Down here in red neck country it kind of looks like a Budweiser nugget.
