It's hard to tell from the pic's but it looks like it was threaded.

It's from where they welded the play equipment when they put it together. I've found some the few times I've went to a playground.

That's a little roll of lead solder that someone hit with a torch

To me, looks like that silver has been melted and dropped at the same area slowly, and built the rings up drop by drop. Did you get other smaller signals (droplets) nearby?

Did he tell you what percentage of silver? I believe we used 5, 10, and 40 percent silver solder for AC/refrigeration work. If its 90 % I dont think its solder.
