Random silver lump or part of an ingot?

[BVI Hunter]

Found a "lump" of Silver close to where we think a Wreck may be.....
Question? Its not perfectly square, my first thought was it had been rounded off after 200 years in the water but it weighs a PERFECT OUNCE!
So Would these have been used as any form or currency or something else?

TIA!!

Cool! I assume you tested it for silver? Never seen anything quite like it but there were many forms. In the last pic it almost looks hollow, like it could be a small cup that has been flattened out or melted. Would love to see it cleaned up, might have a stamp or markings on it. Definitely odd that it weigh an ounce. Looking forward to more info.

Ask Bill Black, they find a lot of odd shape pieces look like that from 1715 operations.
