Detector(s) used
I've swung White's (MXT), Minelab (Safari) & currently run with an Omega 8000 by Teknetics & Fisher CZ-3D (1021 Model)
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Found this the other day in a site with a lot of history. I got it cleaned a bit, but, this is the best for now. When I first dug it, I thought it was a shotgun shell. Can't be though, it's all metal. There appears to be a heiroglyphic type design on it (not sure you can see it in the pic). On the flat part at the end, it says "TATTOO". Also says the same thing around the sides. Was thinking an old refill canister for a tattoo machine, but, doesn't seem like it opens up. It might, but, I don't want to force it. Trying to I.D. this has made me nuts. Any ideas???

P.S. - Don't worry, I am NOT using that toothbrush to clean my pearlies That's my space-age, futuristic scrubbing/cleaning/scouring device for hunting finds only

You should maybe consider patenting that extra-super-dooper relic-cleaner device ;D
