Coin or fishing weight?

[Kapidr]

Found this in my back yard in NE Florida with my Excal while metal detecting. Anyone able to make out anything on it? I believe it's silver but I'm not positive it's not lead. I can't tell with the acid test. Is there a better way to tell? Maybe my acid is too old.

You can scratch lead with your fingernail as it is very soft.

Okay thanks, I can't scratch this.

As thin as it looks, you should be able to easily bend it by hand
if it was lead.

I know that you want the answer to be... 8 real cob, and I would like that too. However, I believe it is a bit too heavy. Someone correct me, but I think that they are right at 28 grams, one ounce.

Get some fresh acid. No, the kind you test silver with...

Turns out it is lead. I tried a little harder and was able to bend it.

Kapidr, this is a easy way to check if it's silver. https://www.google.dk/search?client...4.2..0j41j0i3k1j0i131k1j0i22i30k1.QZwrXLLfR20 just look at the film peacehavens made.
