A beach find - What is it

  • on: February 03, 2014, 11:41 AM
I found this thing on the Uvongo beach over the weekend, but I have no clue what it is. It is hollow like a tube, has what looks like a copper band at the bottom, a brass body, then some other metal (aluminium?), and then finally a rubber top with a small spring around the rubber. The spring nearly looks like an O ring
