Big Spike or Bolt and genuwine Pirate treasure

[JCinNJ]

Found a real big spike or bolt on the beach (quarter is for scale). Not sure what the metal is and electrolysis is taking forever on it.
Also found another giant pirate coin (old silver dollar sized). It's weird because it says Florida pool products but it's at least the second I found in New Jersey. Sure wakes up a detector. My son sure got a kick out of it though. Someone is pranking me.

Otherwise, a disappointing beach hunt with 32 cents in clad but some nicely colored beach glass -always a bonus.

Is it the bottom half of a oar lock?

Like the genuwine pirate treasure!

Apparently, this is a piece for a diving game where kids scatter these tokens along the bottom of a pool and then dive for them and they come in a variety of colors and were (are) sold at Walmart. I found this information at Misc. Mystery Tokens http://users.pullman.com/fjstevens/tokens/mt-misc.html

Surprised we haven't seen more of them then.

Maybe. Looks brass or bronze though. Time will tell.

I remember finding a few of those pirate treasure coins on a private beach in Florida... they were scattered in the sand for some "scavenger hunt" for a group of kids one weekend, but the rising tide took most of them out into the water, where I'd find one or 2 every time I hunted there. Next time, they need to use the real thing or at least some silver dollars...
