A First For Me

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!!

Looks like they're in Winchester, IN:

I imagine the ID number is pretty high. I found it with my TDI pulse detector.

That's an amazing find. Is there a date on it?

Thanks Rick, No date but they still sell the exact same bar so I don't think it's that old.

Wow! Crazy that somebody would carry that to the beach. Nice find for you though!

Thanks Matt, Yes, crazy and I wonder what else people out there carry around?

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.

Thanks Mitchel, We'll probably never know. I did go back to see if there were more but no such luck!

Well that's something you don't find every day. Congrats on the sweet hunk of silver!

Thanks CPT, So unexpected - certainly was not on my bucket list. 😄

I don't imagine there are very many that can say they found one of those detecting a beach ! 🍀

That cleaned up real nice.

Prospector graphic too !👍

 

 

Thanks RVP, I'm sure that more beach hunters have found Rolex watches than 1 ounce silver bars so I got the difficult one out of the way. 🙂  My wife also noticed the prospector and said, "how appropriate!"
