Honking Silver Buckle

[UnderMiner]

Found these two unusual items at the beach today with the Ace 250.

The Sterling buckle is made with very thick silver and weighs 28 grams. The pin was falling out of it when I found it. It was probably just one day away from scattering its pieces as it literally was falling apart in my hand as I scooped it up. Back home I hammered the pin back in and now it's very secure.

Also found a 1958 Venezuelan 5 Centimos coin. Did research and it turns out it's not silver but a copper-nickle alloy. Still cool though and a very pretty old coin.

Excellent find. You'd have to find about 11 mercury dimes to have that much silver.

The buckle is a very special find indeed ! That can be buffed up ,and will look very sharp if you want to wear it .
