Hi Doc, or anyone else interested.

I was out today with a colleague who is fairly new to the hobby and he pulls out this bronze object about 3 inches long.

Neither he, or i know exactly what it is. I think its a bronze dart but am open to suggestions. [the long ridge is also on the other side as well, .... if u stand it on its base it looks like thunderbird 3  Grin Grin]

cheers

alan
