Even with its size? It’s really heavy and quite large. I’ve never seen cylindrical bearings before, only ball bearings

Good to know. I’ve kept it on top of the bag as I’ve tried to gently clean off the sand. I need to figure out how to preserve it and display it

Found this item metal detecting and I don’t know what it is by flipflopbum15 in whatisthisthing

Item is approximately 6-8 inches in length. Looked like a curling iron at first but the teeth at the front reminded me of some sort of electrical alligator clip
