Smulan:
I have the "thing" at home now and have investigated it a bit more.  The colour of the metal under the corrosion silver, its not magnetic and it is strong (not led). Can it be other metal then silver? How about a brace? /Smulan

Smulan:
I cleaned it by electrolysis and this is the result. One end is very sharp.

Smulan:
It might be a plumb. If you put a stone on the bent big circle you could easily fasten it with a rope with help of the two bumps. The upper loop is for the rope and the sharp edge can make at good mark. The construction will give a mass centric plumb whit a minimum of metal use. How does it sounds?
