I found this around an old existing house site. It is brass and about 4 inches long or so. In the hand it feels like a small saw maybe a jewelers saw is all that I can come up with, almost like a small coping saw if you remember them, lol. Any ideas will be appreciated. thanks. gene

Only reason i got it so quick is the family has had a complete one just like it sitting on an old table for my entire life. I'm south east of you by probably an hour and a half or two

Thats real close, I am happy to drive out your way as well. Nothing to far for detecting.
