If you ran across something you didn't recognize my dad would look at it and reply... That's an asshole for a hobby horse. lol

[stopcraponutube]

It Looks Like a Old ass Bottle Cap!!!!!!!



[wayne290]

Its a POS, that's what it is.

[henshooten]

i know exactly what that is mate its the top of the burner for an old whale oil lantern if i can find some ill put up pics to show you

[magpie307]

@henshooten

Hey that sounds realistic and some pics would be most interesting if you can mate, thanks : )

[henshooten]

@magpie307 cant seem to send pics so ill explain best i can ,the part is called the top but is actually the err middle of it ,the 3 legs hold a glass funnel (like a huricane lamp) and the base part (where the bump is on the bottom of the part you have ) usually has a vase like base for decoration, a small burner (usually whale oil) was placed onto the ceramic disk ,basically rendering the flame wind proof,so i suppose its one of the first safety lamps hope that helps mate

[zenoist2]

Does look like a car thermostat part.

Look up any image and compare it.

[tomkatbad]

yea its a I.E.D.

[smallaxe0351]

1:45 bottle cap !!!!very nice find!

[magpie307]

@superdave54811

That,s Interesting, bearing in mind this is ceramic but if you could find some images on this item, would be most interesting as I've searched everywhere for some sort of clue as to what this might have been used for. Thanks for your interest.

[lesterclaypool1]

@magpie307

I agree with superdave, it's part of an automobile engine thermostat. I learned the hard way that you can't change a thermostat without in winter without chancing cracking the ceramic cover.

@magpie307

im just speculating cause i play too much video games and have a wild imagination... but perhaps its the top of a landmine that blew up. Probably unlikely since it would be destroyed... but i woke up today with the intention to set my mark on the world. And it shall be this comment.

Zoom zoom zooooom!

[magpie307]

@ObitoDuelin

Not sure what your interested in buying but if your thinking of what i found then you will have a bit of a problem.

[MikeyUWMD]

Its a Thingy... HH Mikey

[magpie307]

@MikeyUWMD

Hi Mikey, I was thinking the very same thing but still no wiser as to what it is and what it was used for.

[robertyale64]

@magpie307 ill buy it from you for $10.00 thin i will tell you what it is.let know ok?

[magpie307]

@robertyale64

Can you at least give me a clue as to what this item is.

Any ideas anyone ?

[saintpaddydaybride]

ok looks like it might have been some sort of lid..or cap..something to that affect.

[magpie307]

@saintpaddydaybride

Thank you and that is what i thought it may be but would be nice to know exactly what this is and possibly a date when this was made and used.

[hatsan38]

Please tell me looks like a legal question about the metal detecting in the UK ??

[magpie307]

@hatsan38

Not sure what you mean but we do have to seek permission here in the UK to detect on land, hope this helps.

[TamrynRimfire]

Pity you didn't find much. I don't know what that was you had there?

Nice place to detect though great Vid 5/5
