I believe their metal. They have a gold metallic color. The ends have faceted angles almost like crystals. I guess I could pull one out of the cluster to see if it it will be picked up with my detector. On second thought, they don't come apart that easy. There's a hole in the middle of them with the wire going through.
I agree. I believe this is a spring like contraption. When the fish pulled on the line that was hooked to the loop end the mechanism separated with gentle force “setting the hook” Just my educated guess.
You may be on to something Jim.... maybe some sort of strike indicator.
If left near or along side of a water source (creek, pond, mud puddle) it detects "metal detectors". Appears to have detected yours. Hey, that's a good answer. I'll just put this with my unusual finds. It seems like you never know what will show up when dig.It's a homemade "diviner".
