Found this when snorkling in Greece about 17 years ago when i was just a kid. Always wondered what it was... Anyone an idea? Almost certainly made of metal and i think it is hollow on the inside. (lemmy.world)

It looks similar to part of the cooling system on the back of my refrigerator.

Yeah. It's just random (relatively) modern piece of tubing that either fell off a boat or was tossed over board.

Cool memory for OP, and they picked up a piece of trash from the ocean.

I always thought it might've came from a fishing boat. I guess that could still be the case. Pretty funny.

Yeah, cool for you and a priceless reminder of a childhood vacation.

Just not something worth any money or even worth passing down thru the family.

If you ever watch Mitchell and Webb they have a bit where archeologists find a VHS cassette of a toga party and insist it's an authentic recording from ancient Rome.
