interesting find , not the ipod the feeling wire i wonder when that was last used
aye, good find indeed. another one from the '1001 uses for an old fish box'
sonar of it`s day! 

its a feeling wire, used to find the herring shoals and the density of the shoal. the ring netters used them. 

Used a lot at the banks & broon heid when the herring were spawning & tight on the bottom
A very cold job on a winters night & sore on the hands, some fishermen were experts with the wire
there must be a ton of lead weights lying on the banks.
