I recently watched a show about the Whydah Gally wreck, and among the artifacts salvaged from it, was a large round lead medallion. I found one that's identicle in my yard near the Arkansas river. This river empties into the gulf of Mexico, so I'm thinking it may be a slave tag from Africa seeing as how the Whydah Gally was captured carrying hundreds of slaves. My yard is an old plantation as well. I will post pics of the Whydah medallion, then mine.
