Hey Gang,
I was able to MD a few hours this weekend at the beach, and basically it turned out to be a 'junk jewelry' weekend, but nevertheless, being at the beach is always fun.

The only 2 items I couldn't ID were 2 round balls, which are probably nothings. One appears to be iron and attracts a magnet, and the other does not. At first I thought the shiny one was a ball from a Pachinko machine, but after getting home and comparing it to the balls in our Pachinko machine, it was somewhat smaller. Are they just ball-bearings or what? Thanks in advance for any help. Breezie

Hey, thanks for finding my ATV! :laughing9:

I'm thinking wrist rocket type slingshot ammo on the metal balls.

[edit]
actually a bit small for that. Looks like buckshot. 1 steel and 1 alloy. What is the diameter?

Lucas, I think you're exactly right about them being slingshot ammo. :thumbsup: on the ID; I'll green check it. Thanks, Breezie

PS: Since I found your ATV, can I have a ride . . .no, wait, I'd rather drive. :laughing7:
