Can anyone tell me what this is

SWMBO found this on the beach this morning, no manufacturer identity and no oyher markings other than this. Powered by a 9v battery.

To me appears to be a GPS locator?

Cheers

Oops forgot the pic!

Morning Richard, it looks very much like a pin pointer metal detector, used for precise location after receiving a signal from a larger metal detector.

Commonly used on beaches and easy to lose.

Yes a Metal detector.

We have just bought a new one for the Mens Shed and it is this model.   We use it for checking old recycles timber before machining it.

Vibrates in your hand when detecting a fine brad or big old rusty nail.

Our old metal detector mysteriously destroyed itself  and put itself back in its pouch and into the store. ????
