Captain Kidd treasure find was lead

GrumpyEd

Seems like the guy should have tested or verified the weight was right for silver before the ceremony giving the "silver" bar to the president of Madagascar and deciding it was the Captain Kidd treasure.

They say it was 95% lead and don't say what the other 5% is.

BBC The bar was lead

Bummin' for Madagascar, but that bar would make a lot of Grouper and Snapper leads, which keep going up $$
