Been hunting steady this weekend but despite getting on several new permissions the sites just weren't happening. The only real notables were eyeball finds...excluding the weirdest thing I've ever found detecting.

Yesterday we were working the fields and I eyeballed the damaged porkpie ink bottle and the purple sun tinted medicine. Today I changed gears and hit the beach that I usually reserve for winter detecting...when the ground is frozen. Eyeballed a beautiful green glass bottle stopper early in the hunt.

The weirdest find also came from this beach where I've found items from the early 1700s up to the 1940s...I suspect this dates close to the 1940s. Didn't know what it was at first but it was quickly ID'd...as a Graves Vaginal Speculum!! What was that doing on the beach?? LOL!!!

Even Mother Nature needs a checkup sometimes hehe. Cool finds man
 

Makes ya wonder what other medical waste was dumped in the area.
 

I'm not sure I want to click "like" or not! :icon_silent:
 

:laughing9: I really don't want to know how it ended there....
 

Funny thing is when I found it I thought it must have been some kind of plumbing fixture...well...sort of is, I guess...
 

What’s so weird about that? That’s usually what I’m doing on the beach..... inspecting cooch
 

That speculum could have been some fisherman's answer to hook removal...
 

Nice work Romeo! I'm not stoking this fire, LOL!
 

Nice relic hunt, congrats! :occasion14:
 

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Also pretty sure that this is a large bell clapper from a church, school or ship's bell.

After seeing that I suppose I should have more sympathy for my wife after she comes home from her annual checkup.
