Silver, date and mint mark not discernible, guessed by local antiquities dealers to possibly date to around 1700. Badly worn by sand scour, no more found. Anglits fishing pier, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea in "all that stuff being pumped ashore by the dredges". Best my bad eyes can make out...

Very similar to the P of 8 I have from the Gilt Dragon 1656 wreck.
