I found it along the road during our town's litter pick up. It appears to be a device capable of launching up to 5 spring loaded stainless steel darts. There is a small compass on the bottom and the cover for the dart end is missing. It only has the one dart which it sends around 65'.

It’s a dart launcher, there’s several companies that make them.

Ballistic dart launcher. There are a few online stores that sell them. The new darts are a bit more rounded on the tip. This may be an older model.

It's just a compass. Nothing else to see here.

Will it go through a melon or stick into a piece of plywood ? Wondering if it's a "deadly force" type device....

Damn, so much for my new toy. I just went out to try. I shot it at the end of a log but missed the end and it ricocheted off the top out in the grass and I can't find the little spear. I hope one of my mower or tractor tires don't find it. Frown

Maybe wait till dark and see if shining a strong flashlight might get a reflection? Otherwise, Frown indeed.

Get a magnet for sweeping the yard for nails you should pick it up pretty quickly.

Good suggestions but I just tried but it's been raining all day so the water on the grass reflects.

Is stainless even attracted to magnets?

Suppose it depends on the quality of the stainless... how much iron is in it.

Sure hope you find it.
