I found this at the demolition site I have been working. It was at about 4" and lit up the dime icon on my GTI 2500. At first I thought it was a cast bullet as it was covered with tarnish and it was heavy for its size. The hole was blocked with dirt and couldn't been seen in the field. I found out it was brass when I soaked it in "Kaboom" for a couple of days and brushed the crud off with a bristle brush. That stuff will really do a job on copper, brass or bronze by the way and won't etch the surface. Back to the what is it. The hole is not threaded and goes nearly all the way through. The little brass sphere is not hollow however. The top has a faint pattern that looks mostly at random instead of any discernable design. It has a slight raised rib around the middle, the bottom half being smoothe. I've never seen anything like it and have no idea what it is or what it may have been used for. The dime is to give you a size reference. Monty
