Default Our Interesting Indian Head Find

Here's one of our more interesting finds. Two Indian Heads somehow fitted together.

Why would someone do this unless they had so many pennies they could afford messing up a couple of them.

Vlad found it detecting the riverbank.

May not have been "senseless" if it was done way back in the day. May have been a "cheap" way of making some kind of decorations?

I'm with Bill on this one. It looks like it was done a long time ago. Maybe some type of decoration or made for a kids toy of some kind.

I think my grandfather had one of these. I think they did it as a talking piece...or for good luck..but he used to spin them on the table top. I can't remember if his was made from pennies though.

Thanks jpbbennett! That's the first good clue as to what it could be.

Looks like a radar reflector you see on the masts of some sailboats
