ARC is correct. Those are cast copies, and not very good ones at that. The only ship those came from is maybe a cargo ship from China

Some folks think it is fun to toss these into the beach surf or sand, wanting to get the finders excited when they find them....so if you did find them in that context, at least there is an explanation. Keep lookin

The fact that they are identical is a giveaway. Real ones would very somewhat I would think.

Welcome to Tnet !

Finding them is still better than not finding anything at all.

Good Luck & Good Hunting !

Correct... it is the immediate dead give away.

Besides the fact that even if there were one it is obvious it is a re-pop / fake.

And........ the fact i own these exact ones.
