Found this at the beach in the sandy area around the towel line. looks to be around 10k gold. Why someone needed this in their mouth at the beach is beyond me.

I used to see them worn in the Deep South when I lived in the Houston and New Orleans area. I always thought they were kind of cool. Uniquely United States, and a culmination of history, culture and style.


Cool find

I saw a show the other night and they were diving Aztec sink pits and the skulls had grills. Another place they dug a horse that had a grill. It is an ancient practice and one way I guess to cary your wealth with you.
Nice gold find!

Absolutely. I just commented how it reaches back in history but didn't get into detail.

What show? I'd like to catch that one!
