<p>[QUOTE="nike, post: 991421, member: 27176"]Thank you for looking. I wanted to add, a local jeweler suggested that if I wanted to determine weather its silver or not to put it into a cup of bleach - if it turns black - it's silver. So I did and it turned black. More info here: I thought it was slag too until I cleaned it up at home and saw what looked to be the cross. I google cobs and saw a few that looked very close in shape and size. Some of the other old coins I have found at this site are very worn. I access these areas at low tide. I have found civil war buttons, musket balls, and tokens, at this site - so I truly feel this is some type of genuine currency - and ready for this - I had found another one of these and left it behind thinking its slag. Does anyone see any numbers on this or is it me? Thank you for the education here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
