Re: Mystery lure
It was a prop from remotely operated toy boat used to drop bait farther. The boat ventured out of range but the wind eventually blew it back to shore and it broke into pieces. You found the prop.

Nah mate, good guess though but it's a trout lure from the late 1800's and early 1900'sFish-cador wrote:It was a prop from remotely operated toy boat used to drop bait farther. The boat ventured out of range but the wind eventually blew it back to shore and it broke into pieces. You found the prop.

Re: Mystery lure
1800s eh? You are probably a little bit off. Have you considered it maybe from the jurassic era?

Re: Mystery lure
close, it's a lure first designed and manufactured in the late 1800's, but still produced today. So your lure could come from any time since then (but odds are, later rather than earlier).Nuscani wrote: Nah mate, good guess though but it's a trout lure from the late 1800's and early 1900's

Re: Mystery lure
Pretty sure it didnt. That design of lure was first inveted by a devon man in the late 1800's, the bronze age was way before that :rofl:4liters wrote:Did it just magically appear at the start of the bronze age?Nuscani wrote:Nah man there was no metal in the jurassic eraFish-cador wrote:1800s eh?
