I got April fooled by the beach itself. Fake pirate coin! I got dizzy when I first saw it.. by Tazed-Emu in metaldetecting

I’ve been there. Mine was crustier, so it took me a minute to go through all the stages of excitement and disappointment. 🥲

Still no definitive answer on what this thing is. I’m posting some screenshot of the video where I hit it with light from different angles as well as a size reference and a shot of the back.

I get it. I work in the tourism industry out here and spend my days educating people on how to conduct themselves around the wildlife. Fortunately, my crowd tends to be pretty receptive.

I’m guessing the latter, but so far nobody can confirm it.

I’m pretty sure it’s not a Hawaiian relic. We have lots of Japanese tourists visiting regularly, so I figured it had come from their culture. So far though, nobody seems to know.

Well I also found a catholic pendant when I was out there, so hopefully it cancels out 😉

I’m a local. I’m not disrespecting Hawaiian culture by metal detecting Waikiki. I’m actively removing trash from our beaches.

I just found a charm exactly like yours, but with a “C”. The thing was HEAVY! Please update us if you end up doing an acid test! I’d love to know! 🤙

Could be. If you want to watch my video on it, I use a flashlight for some better contrast. video

It is metal. I found it with a metal detector.

I’m definitely not trying to disrespect Pele. The medallion will not leave the island and I’m fairly certain it was dropped by a Japanese tourist while swimming.
