🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Need help on this . What is it.

Have anyone seen anything like this. Found at an old fish camp in SW Florida. It feels like lead. Can not tell if rod went all the way through or not. Only markings I see are 2 dots on one wing. I do not have a clue. Any ideas?

Weird... reminds me of something fishing related... did you find this in or near water ?

I did find at a fish camp, so could be water or fishing related

Makes me think of the point from an old Jarts lawn darts game.

I know I was thinking something to do with boat like something that would spin like speedo or something… but it is lead

Maybe weathervane or lighting rod related… IDL

Instead of lead do you think it could be zinc? if so it could be an anode for a boat that broke away.

You may be on something there. This item weighs 2.0 oz looks and feels like lead. But zinc look’s about like lead. But I guess it could have had a threaded screw end at the larger side.

Consider cleaning inside the circle at either end and let's us know if there is/are broken off studs or if the hole goes all the way through.

After a revisit to this... it dawned on me another idea... perhaps a weight from a floating dive flag or similar.
I have not seen this exact style but just a thought to share.

Duck decoy weight?

That is a very common and thoroughly modern sliding sinker.
However lead is going for a couple a bucks a pound.
2 dots= 2oz.

Looks similar to to weight from one of the weighted planers used for deep trolling.
