It looks similar to part of the cooling system on the back of my refrigerator.
Yeah. It’s just random (relatively) modern piece of tubing that either fell off a boat or was tossed over board.
Cool memory for OP, and they picked up a piece of trash from the ocean.
I always thought it might’ve came from a fishing boat. I guess that could still be the case. Pretty funny.
Yeah, cool for you and a priceless reminder of a childhood vacation.
Just not something worth any money or even worth passing down thru the family.
If you ever watch Mitchell and Webb they have a bit where archeologists find a VHS cassette of a toga party and insist it’s an authentic recording from ancient Rome.
Another picture to have an idea about the size of it.
It’s conventional to use a banana for scale, but a hand will do in a pinch I guess.
That hand is, in fact, in a pinch, so we have no problems!
Ah, good. The problem resolved itself. I can continue being somewhat lazy
Phew. The small size, combined with other people surmising it might be part of a refrigerator greatly alleviates my worries you might have picked up a piece of unexploded munitions from WW2. Which is an all too common thing over here in Germany.
It’s a Sea Doobie
What does a sea do be do?
Thank you, i will never stop calling it that now!
There could be dangerous coolant in it. When scrapping devices using coolant, the workers used to make it pump it into this chamber, then squish the end tight, roll it a bit, then remove it.
Looks like copper.
I think it is, yes.
