What am I

[ozwinner]

Hi all
I found this on the beach some years ago.
I found it with the metal detector. Gave a very good signal.
Looks like graphite, very light weight, broke easy.
The piccys are parc sorry, it has a metalic luster, through a loupe it has spherical balls all over the broken surface.

Hey Al! gimme back those bits off my flying saucer! I crash landed on your planet a few years back and am still trying to repair my craft so I can get back to the mothership. I'm finding it hard to locate the pieces as all those alfoil beanies are deflecting the rays of my locating beams.

Hi Ozwinner,

Could this be some of the material that the vessel "Glomar Explorer" was designed and built to recover from the ocean floors? I know that the "GE" was commissioned by the CIA for various (and often mis-reported) nefarious affairs, but also believe that it's original mission was to recover these molybdenum (?) nodules.

Anyway, can you do anything with said "balls", or is it just a lot of old balls

Cheers!

So how big is this stuff and are the balls indented and about 1/2 mm across




The trouble with life is there's no background music.

Al :confused:

He didn't get sensored because " dealer in crap" is your vocation, not a dirty bit!

Consulted a whale doctor and he assured me it was part of a kidney stone :eek:


Cheers...........Sean, hard to pass

I think it's a bit off of that Phoenician ship buried in the sand at Warnambool or wherever.

Might be part of the anchor.

That's definately the regurgitated foileys coughed up after the aliens ate the poor sod who was wearing the foiley.
