Compass Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 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. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compass Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 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!!

Rick N. MI Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 That's an amazing find. Is there a date on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Wow! Crazy that somebody would carry that to the beach. Nice find for you though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
