Small Silver Ingot Pendant ?

[bologna321]

Found this in a dry creek a foot down in gravel. The creek is below a really old farmhouse here in SW Missouri. The item seems somewhat crude, and i'm 90% sure this is silver. Definitely not lead, it is not magnetic, sounds like silver coin when dropped, etc.

Anybody seen something like this before? Almost looks like a crude ingot for a necklace or something?






Thanks for any help or ideas.

Silver typically does not show the coloring and corrosion that your piece has. I would clean it up with your favorite method and see if there are any makers marks. My guess is that it is lead, as old sites are littered with all sorts of lead pieces similar to this.

....Looks similar to a sacrificial zinc anode from a boat.

Could be Babbitt, which is harder that lead and is also silver in color.
