That's a nice find, sponge

Please educate me as to how you ID'd it as fake.

I found one some years ago with the letters "FAKE" imprinted on it, but I don't see any letters on the one that you found.

It has the white cloudy look that is typical for alluminum oxidation. I will give it a silver test. Pretty sure its a replica. Its a nice replica though.

Sponge, I hope it's real!
Here's a positive way to test it...throw it in the ocean and come back in 2 months. If you find it and it's purple, then it's real! If you can't find it, then it's a fake!
Good luck bro!!

One thing that was real was the feeling you had when you saw that in your scoop.
The setting was real the environment was real... Consider it a test run.. Nice find you certainly don't find those everyday

Yes sir. Test run went flawless. Kept a straight face and swung my way towards the exit. Got in truck and drove off. The whole time repeating in my head. I GOT ONE. I GOT ONE. I GOT ONE.
