I found this super cool water gun. I assume a bulb or baloon was attached to form the handle. I would love to know more about this little rascal if anyone knows. I appreciate your help. Please check out my link above for prints and t-shirts of some of my original "detecting" art.

Thanks,
Baldingboy

Mine is heavy....I am certain it is lead in composition. It looks and feels just like an old lead bullet would. Thanks to everyone for your imput. Sure wish I could put a year to this one.
