Went out tonight to do a hunt in my local town at a old Park, this park dates back to the mid to late 1800's or so.. Found a couple wheats(39 and 42) right off the get go, Then this Rang up as a 12-30 on the CTX.. I dug it up and it was tacoed real bad. Not round at all.. At first sight thought it was Aluminum, Picked it up and it was heavy. I knew it was something else.
Very soft. was able to bend it back into shape with minimal effort of a wooden dowl. Got out the acid test kit and holy smokes it is silver, Confirmed it with 18k gold acid turning it blue.. So 2 tests say silver. After doing some reading if it is able to be bent so easy it is more than likely pure silver. Never had any silver like this![Cool :cool: :cool:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/cool.png)
This was within 3 feet of the wheats but about 3 inches lower in hard rocky soil![Cheesy :D :D](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/cheesy.gif)
