Popular Post Compass Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 Later I will make a more detailed report about a recent beach hunt but I just had to share this one most unusual find. When I scooped it out onto the beach from the wet sand it looked a little bit like a dog tag but when I picked it up I thought, "no way!". Sure enough it was a 1 ounce, .999, silver bar. Maybe someone carried it in their pocket for good luck? I searched around to see if there were more to no avail. Being almost pure silver I thought that it would clean up easily but it took a couple zaps of electrolysis to lift the black off. 19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Nice score! 👍 guess some carry them as a good luck charm. Another chapter of "you never know"... https://silvergoldbull.com/1-oz-silvertowne-silver-bar I also see that Roman numeral ring in the background, looking forward to the rest of your post. 😀 Found one of those this year myself. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compass Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Thanks for the link 350 and good catch on that ring! Heading back out in a bit to see if there are any more surprises out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Finding a lone 1 ozt silver bar on a beach may be more difficult than finding a cache of them hidden/buried in someone's barn or back lot. (Side comment: I think Silver Towne is a bullion dealer near me -- in Richmond, IN, at least I think it used to be located there.) Funny thing -- I have a couple boxes with better small finds (coins and jewelry) as well as some test garden pieces. I actually have a 1 ozt silver bar among my test pieces (as well as a 1 ozt silver round). Now I don't feel so silly including those to air test for a detector to determine their VDI's!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 That's an amazing find. Is there a date on it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Wow! Crazy that somebody would carry that to the beach. Nice find for you though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I found something similar years ago and I have the feeling that it is some type of 'offering' that is given to the ocean/beach/waves. Or ... someone did a theft, and they threw it away so that the remainder of the loot could not be traced! Good find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
