    Not the same, but looks a bit like this one— flat on one side, with hole; bulbous at center on the other side:

    Not what I meant Doc, finds are always something to who finds it no matter if they are cheap...finds dont have to be nice clean shiny things....it's the point of finding it that matters ...and we are here to answer not discourage...it use to be a whistle...a toy...sufficient...
