Found this when snorkling in Greece about 17 years ago when i was just a kid. Always wondered what it was... Anyone an idea? Almost certainly made of metal and i think it is hollow on the inside. (lemmy.world)

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

And somewhat italian.

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.
