Question Hey Test Your Guessing Ability

Hi, Anyone Here Want To Play A Guessing Game? If So Look At The Picture On The Left And Guess What These Guitars Are Really Used For. Take Some Time And Really Think About It. Chances Are They Are Not Used For Anything You Would Normally Think Of. I Think These Would Be Really Awesome To Find While Metal Detecting. If You Give Up And Want To Know The Answer Just Click On The Picture On The Right.. Thanks JJ

Those are really cool... I think it's pretty interesting that they're used as currency somewhere! That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
