While I was searching with my detector in Villadama, N.L Mexico about 20yrs ago, my wife eyeballed this in the dirt of the local memorial park.We were the first car through after Hurricain Hugo. Water had overflowed the streets and park and most of the grass and gravel had washed away.
It is a solid tooth connected to a "cap" I was told that dental gold is not worth much, but I am pretty sure that this is "gold, gold." The park is at the site of the "hero's" revolution battle, but also across the street from La Policia and at least three cantinas. From the battle, police beating, bar fight, who knows?

Peeking through the window behind the butcher shop, I spotted a 1948 Desoto convertable covered with those wooden chicken cages.

I have heard that dental gold is 10 Karat. Good find. Have it tested before you let it go.
