Hit the beach tonight for the first time in almost a week. Not a whole lot of targets to be found but I did get alittle over $2 in clad, a bling broach, a very cool National Guard token, and a "what is it"?!? I was running my XP Deus tonight...the token rang in as a 97 in 18kHz and nearly blew my eardrums off. When I got home I ran it under my V3i and it hits as a solid +85.



The National Guard token....I placed it next to a quarter to show the size....its very heavy, just under an ounce. It is not aluminum or pewter, not sure if it is made of brass, bronze, or maybe copper??? I tried to find a match online but there are TONS of different National Guard tokens....


The other side of the token


The "what is it"....it is made of solid brass or bronze, no holes (it is not a smoking pipe)...and it does not unscrew at all. It is one solid molded piece...???

Might it be a fancy pipe tamper tool?

Nice finds in any case.
HH!

I think you got it right with the "Pestle" guess....I just did a Google search and it lead me to an Ebay auction...it looks almost exactly like the one in the pic..

I was informed on another forum that the National Guard token...is not a token, it is a Challenge Coin. Looks like someone is going to be buying some rounds soon...:occasion14: :laughing7:

Yep it's a pestle, very common over here in Greece in antique shops and flea markets.
