It looks like a hanger but there's not much room to get to the hook. Something like a key hanger perhaps?

If you’re referring to post #18 of this thread MB, then we never did sort out what the heck it was,

Sorry, they trick me up by opening the thread at the start instead of the finish

Yeah, I know what you mean Phil, it’s a pain. Wish it opened up straight to the latest post.

It looks as though I’ve come across a relic site of sorts on one of our local beaches.... going from the stuff I’m digging up.
Our tides have been moving a lot of sand and exposing some building rubble, probably early 1900’s beach shelters.
There’s square copper nails, pre decimal coins, buttons and even part of a snake buckle. Very unusual for beach finds.
Anyway I hope it doesn’t get sanded in, ‘cos I reckon there’s more there.... a sov would do

 

[OzzieAu]

Unfortunately my beach spot where I dug the above coins and relics has been sanded over by some rough seas, so it’s a matter of waiting for another opportunity to arise..
I couldn’t help trying to clean up the snake buckle end... man that green corrosion was as hard as powder coating after 100 years in the salt.


This GPO button was from the said spot also..

A couple of cleaned up brass alloy finds from a beach hunt today.
They certainly didn’t look in this condition in the scoop.

A quick one hour beach swing in the cool of the morning today.

Only gold plated unfortunately.

Someone will be crying in their beer after losing this at the beach.
It’s a 1960/70’s Dunhill Rolagas lighter.
It is heavy and was found in soft white sand on the towel line, so when dropped it would have disappeared instantly.
It sounded off like a coke can when I swung over it.

Plated gold I’m thinking (hoping)

Even if it was solid gold mate, there’s no way it’ll light another fag .....for me anyway.

Well, off the beach for a change today and turned up up this little relic. Mr Google tells me its a WW1 military officer’s cap badge (possibly Major). Tudor king crown.


Also turned up this early 1900’s name plate

Looks like 18k gold plated.

I’ve recently returned from an overseas trip to Europe and got out for a play with the Legend thanks to a fine break in the shitty weather.
I managed to pull a couple of nice targets from a very trashy spot that I revisited.
WW1 Victory medallion gifted to school kids in 1919.

And this lovely condition King Edward V11 Penny.

 

[OzzieAu]

Back to the same spot today and these emerged from the trash.
I’m not sure what they are, so any ideas welcome.....

The last couple of pics look like the top of an Amal motorcycle float bowl, but they are usually marked Amal.
