Three years ago I took my dad out for a fun hunt in Virginia Beach oceanfront. Mostly dug around for coins, but popped this sucker out in between waves at low tide. This is what it looked like raw...I had a feeling it was silver:
I spent A LOT of time cleaning it. Determined that it was definitely silver. Obviously in the shape of an eagle, but no idea where it came from. So much history in that area I figured nobody would ever be able to ID it. But, you guys are good...REAL good. What do you think of the cleaned up images:
I placed it next to a thin dime that somebody ID'd for me because I was documenting it for my archives. I can take more photos if people need them. I obviously didn't throw it out.
