Revelation, never give up!

I am the kind of person who never gives up.
If you've ever had a burning question and couldn't find the answer and it kept you always wondering about the answer, well I had one of those.
Back in December I was on a hunt and found an object that I had no clue what it was, I put it on the what is it? forum with no solid answer. Well today I just happened to notice something on some research that rung a bell and wouldn't you know,my question was answered!
My mystery object was a piece of an octant, precursor to the sextant, a navigational device on ships.
Never give up on those unanswered questions and keep your eyes open, you might surprise yourself!

Wow I'm amazed that you figured that out. Not exactly a common item or piece. Very cool
