| Treasure Coast Silver Spash Ingot Metal Detector Find. |
This is what I call an truly excellent beach finds. You don't find those every day. In fact, you are lucky to find one in a lifetime, but they have been found before. It is a small Spanish shipwreck silver splash ingot showing a great tax stamp imprint.

Those are the only details I can give on this one for now.

Six to nine feet on Friday could help us. I'll look at some of the other variables Wednesday or Thursday.
Good hunting,
