So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!

First of all WELCOME to the TQ FAMILY. Very nice CW Bullet. I am pretty sure your ball object is a button. You need to soak the object for a while in olive oil and attempt to clean it with a VERY SOFT toothbrush. I believe you will find some lettering on the Concave portion if you will do this. Let me know what you find.
