    I found this off Hawaii in 150 feet of seawater. It is 99.9 percent copper. After many years of trying to find out what it is, I am now convinced it is possibly the oldest compass ever discovered. The sea growth could possibly tell how long it sat off Hawaii. I am wanting to learn more about it.
