Small silver plug (contraband ingot?), from an original Spanish salvage camp of the 1715 Fleet, 34.8 grams. About 1-1/4" in diameter and 7/8" tall. This looks just like someone poured molten silver into a nesting cup-weight, presumably so a smuggler would have a small, almost coin-like piece of contraband silver, no markings of course, dark in color and nicely encrusted all over, really looks like it should weigh more. From the 1715 Fleet, with photo-certificate #0514.
