✅ SOLVED Guess what this encrusted item is before crust is removed... see who comes close...

[ARC]

Found this today at water line...
Guesses are welcomed by everyone to try and guess what it is before I break it out.
I will wait for some really good responses before I remove crust...

Here are the same hints that I know...
tis strong magnetic pull...
a small metallic circular lip is barely visible on raised side... about size of dime...
and weighs 38.8 grams.
was in an area that has swim area close to shore and boats do come in very close there.

I am pretty sure that is the missing iringeroid that came loose from the stradivarius that caused those wild oscillations in the framus way back in the 1960's some time.

Interesting find ARRC, is it coral encrusted or steel/Iron fluxed encrusted?

Highly doubt there is an SS item inside, doesn't look like stainless fused encrustation. I have seen silver get encrusted like that, but magnetic hummm, unless the encrustation is causing the magnetic pull or there could be an iron/steel (very old iron/steel item) also encrusted inside.

Definitely interesting.

I'll guess a fuel can cap.

Most likely a plopdammit.

I've been around boats for decades and I know that I frequently hear "plop" . . . "DAMMIT!" from other boaters around the docks; and even on my own.

I think that is what one boater said back in the early 1980's when he pulled up to get fuel at the Garrison Bight Marina in Key West. He had laid his' very expensive Rolex Watch on the Gunwale for some unknown reason and when he pulled the gasoline hose onto the boat, it knocked the Rolex off and into the deep and slimy murk of the Marina and as far as I know, was never found.

Have no idea of what could be lurking in the black mass, but I'll go with a washer of some sorts.

Living in and around the marina heard a lot of blue air after the plop happened. Got a picture collage of me fishing out bbq, from the murky waters.

Well?! Quit teasing us and break that sucker!

Oh, and my guess is that it's a leverite.
