Anyone Recognize this ???

Found it while visiting the keys doing a bit of water hunting, cleaned it up as best I could as it was encrusted, it's probably a very common find down there given the history. could be pewter or maybe lead, outside chance it might be silver

It sure must have looked good in the scoop. Sadly, it is a tourist replica (and not a good one at that).
