How about a therrmometer if some kind? I'd love to get my hands on it to do a bit of "reverse engineering".

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

This is all I can give you, it's the most recent post from the owner (female :rolleyes: ) of the thingummy jig

 

No nearer! tried the cable idea and it doesnt react. Touched the prongs also with things of various thicknesses etc. The only thing that moved the counter was when I held it over some steam in a pan but it wasnt temperature related, It looks like it may contain a battery but there is just one of those minute screws that is too difficult to move. Its not possible to prise it off as you can with normal batteries . I have drawn a blank!! Thanks all for your suggestions .

must refer you back to post 7 then.

 

 

kin obvious.

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Ayjay,

 

This is getting serious. It is cold, windy, spitting snow today. The answer is going to require a unified effort (or sh!t house luck) Here is what I know:

 

It is, in all likelyhood a device manufactured prior to 1965 (solid nylon housing). One google search described the device "handheld digital two wire nylon handle meter" (no luck). Specifically it is NOT related to wind, photography, moisture, turbidity, spot, radiation, temperature, salinity, color, force, flow, oxygen, CO2 or any of a number of various classes of "conductivity" (i.e. electrical, water and air).

It is not a simple comparative, density, tone, frequency. musical note

 

The closes device out of the 56,093 meters I looked at today it most resembles a device that locates metal or wood studs in a wall (won't work, it's readout is not configured correctly.

 

The devices I looked at are all current devices from Google Images

 

Yes, I will accept suggestions. It is bugging the shite out of me. I know, I'm weird.

Ayjay is there anything on the other side? Patent numbers, anything at all.

Its strange a person that buys something and wonders what it is cannot be bothered to undo a small screw and fit batteries to see if it reveals the very answer she wants !

If its marked CE somewhere its pretty modern and having the screw indicates its modern so perhaps removing the screw will reveal more clues to what it is ?

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

I showed SWMBO and in her catering experience she has never seen anything like it

Hence my parentheses and "female :rolleyes: " earlier.

 

Maybe I'll suggest she shows it to a man. :D

 

Most sensible suggestion I've heard so far is to measure a pulse/heart rate by sticking a finger between the prongs.

 

I'll keep you informed of any developments, and pass on the more sensible suggestions/questions.

It perhaps can only measure what it measures one way hence the reset switch and it only has two digits so its not heart beat (mine gets over a 100 just walking to the fridge) so its not used for a long period either because of the two digits

Having two electrodes is interesting though if they are separate they may sense metal but only in something running through the u shape

Definitely a puzzle with no doubt an obvious use to someone just not here

 

Perhaps it gets hot and its an asp straightener or adder massager
