Well, until that hint I was going to say an unpacked unrolled object that had spent too long in the bilge.;)

It's hard to figure out the scale of it... Any chance of a ruler beside it (and maybe another angle )?

I'll have a stab at saying it's some sort of nut.

Final clue (and it's not alien or a tattoo!):

Steve

OK, it's a compass. Every boat should have one .

fergal.b

Very nice compass it is

A 'dead beat' compass is one in which the card has been sufficiently dampened to make the card steady when the vessel is rolling in heavy seas. The card is settled regardless of stormy conditions ­ it is a 'dead beat'!


An easy one.
