Brass Mixer?

[Woodland Detectors]

Here's a target that will overload the electronics in you detector. When I passed the coil by it actually overloaded and shut down my machine! I thought "what the heck, I'll dig it. It sounded sweet" I'm thinking it's a bakers mixer. Not sure though. Can any one help with the age and manufacture of this 5lb brass piece...Thanks

Wow what a cool find

I think you're right on the ID. On the mark SS what's the 'dots' on right?

Your detector shut down

I believe it reads SSco

You're correct. It is a dough hook for a mixer. I have one very similar for my Hobart mixer.

I see, you shut the detector down it wasn't the detector that overloaded and shut down

Commercial mixers are fetching pretty good prices and you may be able to sell your hook. Otherwise still a nice metal detecting relic

Maybe your detector was low on batteries. Mine only shuts down when I hit 'motherload'
