Small pintle?
Find of the day has to be that old schnapps bottle though.
Might see you down there on the next big tide

I think your on to it with the rudder …the bottle dates from 1850–1880 I donated all my collection to our library so once clean will pass it on

Was hoping for alot of sand movement with the huge swell coming in unfortunately it was the wrong way around took a bit of the overburden off and deposited it with seaweed so back to the estuary had a quick look where a new seawall was built and pulled $15 and a a few decs from the stripped topsoil then followed the tide down 1921 penny and the usual oddball stuff

Glad it was a happy ending!
That’s got to be worthy of some sort of Numpty-of-the-Year award 
Bet a few choice words were said as you drove at a sedate pace well within the speed limit to see if it was still there.
Haha the moment I realised what id done I got that feeling you get when the love of your life tells you she’s leaving😢 anyway coming up in the morning can you send a pic of where I might find a button
