This is a bit of a mystery and came from an empty field (almost no iron/no coins except for a cut hammered)  half way up a mountain.

The curvered stem bit is iron with a bronze or copper wash and the Mexican/cowboy end seems to be pewter and still revolves.

Thanks Alan. I was sat at the computer this morning trying to think what the revolving part was called. Rowel !

I'll have a good search through my old Detector User/Searcher/Metal Detecting magazines and see what I can find. I've a feeling there was a article at one time and it would be nice to get a suggestion of date.
