BagLady Bronze Member Mar 13, 2015 1,011 619 Mississippi Detector(s) used cheap Primary Interest: All Treasure Hunting Jun 27, 2016 #10 Unusual for sure. Especially with the concave centers on both sides. I haven't seen one like it, but I'm leaning towards that being a tool, not a point. Maybe someone else will chime in on this.
