    I can't figure out what this is!!!

    I found this while walking today...

    Is it a vintage guitar pick?? It's not a brass nuckle ring, Already tried that. It's kinda heavy, but not really at all. And it tastes kind of like a metal taste. Like Blood.



    It's not magnetic either ! ARGH!


    I'm just puzzled on this one..

    That's a toe ring. See them used for a child's belt buckle too.

    Well my buddy says it is probably silver, so I'm going to send it the refinery to have it melted down and returned to me.

    Wikipedia says it's a soda can pull tab, but that site isn't 100% accurate.

    Not silver. Looks like a pull tab to me with the "flap" thing broken off.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    When a scrap yard told me to find them a higher price because thats suppose to a higher grade material. I never got back to them with that answer. My best guys that they are platinum plated gold.

    Left handed fire starter! Maybe it can be sold as steam punk material.
