 help I took my two sons to the beach the other day and let them hit the the lake while I went to do some beach detecting. I stopped and talked with another detector freak like myself when my oldest son came running up. He had this in his hands. The guy I was talking with offered him $5.00 for it but, my boy said no way. It is completely solid (rock like) so, I do not think it to be any sort of shell. Any help or even suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
