I decided to check out some areas around the site of a WWII JAPANESE POW Camp.* Initially I wad under the impression it was a Nazi POW Camp, like the others in the area but was told differently while there.* (I WAS NOT ON THE ACTUAL SITE, ONLY ADJACENT TO IT.)*
I typically do not hunt for relics, just coinage.* I was using the GTI 2500 with a DD and was working an area where I had dug a few wheat cents and some modern clad. I found a jamming, rock solid quarter signal about 4 inches. What I found was a solid brass object that I preliminary thought may have been an old toy gun, but after cleaning it off I was left puzzled.
On one side, the apex of the triangular shape is pitched, but there's no wear or markings consistent with something rubbing or sliding along that surface. The "stem" is shaped like a "+" and approx. 1cm from where the "stem" meets the triangle, a cube is on the "stem" on the same side as the pitch. The cube has a hole oriented parallel with the stem.
It weighs 7.25oz (206g) and appears to be cast due to a line along the top and bottom lengthwise.* I'm NOT a "relics hound," so I could definitely use some help identifying it.
Thanks in advance for any identifying information!
