Is this a cob

[Moe (fl)]

Found this piece at the beach after big storms. Weighs 9g and rings in silver range on my detector. There seems to be letters along the left side (photo 1) going up/down. The length is 35mm and 29mm across the widest part.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Does it stick to a magnet?

Might help if you can brighten up the picture.

Bigcypresshunter,

No, it doesn't stick to a magnet. It feels heavy too and solid.

The only thing I could think of Moe would be to test the metal to see if its silver.

Could this be an older cob or just more worn down? It feels heavy (9g) for its size & shape. It rings as silver on my target id detector. I can see somekind of writing on one side. I am puzzled!
