Crusty flat button or.....

This guy was deep in a streambed covered in 6 inch of sand and stone. Barely audible, gave a slightly higher squeak every 5th pass. At first glance looked like something that was headed straight for the garbage.

Looks like a shank in the middle maybe? I'd put it right in the electrolysis tank, and you'll know in about 15 minutes :yes:

I thought the same thing to I was convinced I saw a shank in the middle it turned out to be a small stone.

When I looked closer I saw an edge that is seen in the bottom of the first picture. I "cracked" the skin off and it fell apart like an egg in my hand. Inside I couldn't believe what I was seeing. To think I almost tossed this crusty circular disc. :shock:

Spanish silver!!

Huge congrats, in the water a lot of silvers are inside of what the water pirates call a "cookie"...

Holy carp!! That's awesome man! Congrats on a spectacular Spanish silver find!! :aok:

Thanks guys, I was pretty pumped walking away with some silver that day. "Cookies" is a great term used for situations like this. I have had lots of luck hunting old stream beds with exposed bedrock.
