Magnet Fishing find

It's a Mardi Gras mask. The pinpointer is probably detecting some residual ornamental foil covering. It's probably ceramic or plastic.
Dead fish floating near it? This does sound like the beginning of a movie! No telling what kind of Jumanji portal you opened up now!

OK I got one more: What's it worth? Face value. :laughing:

I like the way you think, Foragist!
 
Well tried one antique dealer and was referred to another. Funniest thing was I had it wrapped up in a small black towel. When I uncovered it the woman almost jumped backward. She referred me to another however he was closed when I got there. I'm going to try back though. I will let you know if I find out anything.

"It's just a Mardis Gras mask. Don't look into it too far. They won't like it."
 
Finally had time to poke around on the net and found this. So while it is not anything really valuble or antique. I'm still happy with the find. Those of you that said mardis gras mask you were correct. Brass Mardis Gras mask

 
There is one blessing from this thread, Old New Orleans has generated a bit of interest in MAGNET FISHING, even though it had to hid behind a mask to do it :)
