Tonights finds...a cool Token and a "what is it"....

[Diggin-it]

Hit the beach tonight for the first time in almost a week. Not a whole lot of targets to be found but I did get alittle over $2 in clad, a bling broach, a very cool National Guard token, and a "what is it"?!? I was running my XP Deus tonight...the token rang in as a 97 in 18kHz and nearly blew my eardrums off. When I got home I ran it under my V3i and it hits as a solid +85.



The National Guard token....I placed it next to a quarter to show the size....its very heavy, just under an ounce. It is not aluminum or pewter, not sure if it is made of brass, bronze, or maybe copper??? I tried to find a match online but there are TONS of different National Guard tokens....


The other side of the token


The "what is it"....it is made of solid brass or bronze, no holes (it is not a smoking pipe)...and it does not unscrew at all. It is one solid molded piece...???

Check this out, Diggin'! Looks very similar.

Is this it???


Do a Google image search for brass pestle, and you'll see many of them, some that look identical to what you have.

Hope that helps!!!! Either way, very nice find!!!!

I think you got it right with the "Pestle" guess....I just did a Google search and it lead me to an Ebay auction...it looks almost exactly like the one in the pic..

Now why was this down on the beach...?!? :laughing:

I was informed on another forum the National Guard token is not a token....but a Challenge Coin. Boy...learning stuff tonight.

What would really be awesome is to find the "bowl" that belongs with that pestle!

Really cool finds no matter what!

Nice finds, damn that pestle goes for about $90 with shipping? Sell it now

*I see that price is with the mortar, but still some value to it, find the mortar as well

probably left by some crackhead crushing up his cocaine/drugs lol
