[trikikiwi]

Incidentally, It doesn't look quite like a Patagonian ToothFish

Is there any sign of wire attachments to the little treasure?

Huge non-descript photos with no measurements or storyline? Sure, all the time

I think it may be a game piece:

Very cool find. That may be from the old fishing game. IronSpike beat me to it.

ADDED: We need more pics front and back to be sure, like others have said.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

From the old thread posted by IronSpike. Societies latest fad. "Do you angle?"

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

A pic of the back may help. There may be a number on the back. The game came with 80 brass fish..

thanks everyboby,trikikiwi for cropping it. i 'm not a whiz when it comes to posting photos,sorry anyways i was detecting oceanside at lowtide in an area with alot of shipwreck history offshore.will try to post another pic ,there were three of these fish plus other items in this one hole that made my detector sing! kind of strange feeling when i was digging in the clay like muck as if i was finding a long lost bunch of kids toys? one of the fish stuck to a magnet,the other two did not.went and bought a test kit from scales and jewelry tools out of Texas and if i did it right it read on the stone to be silver"green" on the two fish.they are 3" long and heavy,should of bought a scale going to order one!do not think they are fishing lures,look the same on both sides.going now to take pics,will be back asap.

'If' they are sterling silver, maybe they are pendants or charms with broken rings, which is probably why they were lost. Breezie

 

[Dirt fishing Wolf]

mermaid pendant?

 

[bradyboy]
