Well i have posted this before with no luck..
It was said it was a drop of solder or something like that.. :icon_scratch:

A jewelry dealer friend of mine came by and looked at it and tested it and it is solid silver..

It most definately has footprints of different walks of life including,

A horse shoe
Human print
wolf print and others

Any fresh ideas..
Most people that see it think its some kind of ancient coin :dontknow:

What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

I think I missed something? ???

Great movie (Cool Hand Luke).

Oh, and my vote is in for a blob of melted silver. Wish I could imagine it is something else.

Yes, but clearly Mickey stepped on the coin in modern times. I really hope no one is trying to say otherwise because a find should be accepted for what it is.

Djabends ancient solder blob matches so well, for a few minutes, I thought it was the same item.

If you are using MS Paint the two lower icons on the left, once you select the text option, are opaque or transparent background (dotted box in the icon). Select the lower icon.


Good to see old images before I put on weight. ;D I look thinner from behind.

I don't know what it is, but here was my first thought:

Why would someone with the skill to make those tiny little impressions crowd all of them together on one side and then leave the other side of the item completely untouched?

If the back side was carved or molded or even flattened I might consider the front to be something more than random indentations.
