Here's something I found on the beach and never identified. It has been to a jeweler and a welding shop. They said it is not silver or aluminum. I cleaned it up and mounted it. I call it Angel of the Sea for lack of a proper name. I do some conserving and mounting. Frank...
looks like a platinum nugget. Id send it to the smithsonian.
I believe it's slag. We used to dig a TON of it when I beach hunted more, yeas ago. It's used on ships & has a few other purposes. Yeah, I can kinda make out the image of a figure, and it does sorta look like an Angel. Cool piece. Even cooler, I like how you made the plaque and everything
