Anybody ever find one of these?

[Texasgopher]

Hunted a volley ball court next to the soccer fields I've been working, still looking for jewelry. I've always wanted some of these. Never thought I would find them Metal detecting though. To bad they are to big for my hands . I guess somebody was throwin down in the sand and lost them. Pretty cool though I think. HH

Brass paper weight. I have one of those along with one of alumminum. Used to have one of steel

but it took legs and walked. Hard to find the older ones.

Just be careful.They are considered a deadly weapon by the police and will get you in trouble if you are pulled over by the police and they see them in your car. They will confiscate them even if they decline to charge you with weapon possesion.

Yeah i know. I have been being VERY careful. I plan on putting them in a display box asap so they are not just laying around and somebody will be less likely to think I have them for a bad purpose. Pretty sure they are considered illegal here. Thanks for looking everybody.

It's part of an old gear assembly.
Depends on who's asking.

Cool find!

The new ones are brass. The OLD ones are Lead. We got two partial sets of lead ones last year. One had a soldier's name scratched into the back of it.
