[size=13pt]Fellow detectorists have found these blue metal things at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Another has found bunches of them on Cape Cod. Another fellows wife found one in Ocean City, MD. Back in Oct. 2007 at York Beach, Maine another was found. Even a fellow from Magnolia Springs, Alabama has found one of these things.

The strange part is they have all been found on the east coast. No one from the Gulf area or the west coast has mentioned anything about these items.

I've had guesses from Cookie Cutters (too small) to childs beach toys. Not very possible on the beach toys. How many manufacturers do you know that would make only one toy, in one size and in one color for the beach. Besides, beach toys that I've seen come in a mesh bag that has a bunch of items in it, and they are all made of plastic. These things are made of metal and can be picked up with a magnet.

Another guess was that they were a part from beach chairs. I don't know how something of this shape would be from a beach chair. Just where would it go, and how would it be used?

If anyone knows exactly what these things are, I'd sure be happy to know what the answer is. Thanks for your help in advance.

Looks like it could be some sort of sleeve that would fit into a piece of metal of same shape - used to act as guard from sharp edge or possibly a reinforcement of some kind. Beach chair might sound crazy but it almost could work... :icon_scratch:
