Title: any idea what this is?? Post by: handyman [Alan} on April 23, 2014, 04:15:13 PM hi everyone
my colleague was out detecting today and found this interesting object. He tells me that It is about the size of an old penny and unmarked on the otherside. The centre hole appears to be square, with a smaller hole towards the top. any suggestions would be appreciated cheers Title: Re: any idea what this is??

The square centre hole is where the hanging/pull bit goes through the drawer and the pin type hole is to stop the whole thing slipping round and marking the outside of drawer
