Title: Dug this up on a riverbank
Post by: bodybuilder27 on June 06, 2017, 06:16:03 PM
Any ideas what it is?

I've included pics and a video to show what it's reading at and sounds like on my Racer 2.

It's small, but VERY heavy and not magnetic.

Here are a few more pics of the Item, placed on one side is a UK 20p coin (colour silver) and other side is a 1penny coin.

Don't know i it helps a bit more with ID?

Can't really see proper colour of the Item in pics, but it looks a LOT like brass and definitely feels like brass...just bugging me not knowing what it is.

cheers for the help guys.

Just a thought but can it be sort of a wait for inside clock with a pendulum that brass thing would be on a chain as I say just a guess rob

Hi Dingdong, you may be correct but it could be a more sophisticated than th one attached, that would be screwed instead of hammered.🙃🙃🙃
