Morning Richard, it looks very much like a pin pointer metal detector, used for precise location after receiving a signal from a larger metal detector.
Commonly used on beaches and easy to lose.

Yes a Metal detector.
We have just bought a new one for the Mens Shed and it is this model. We use it for checking old recycles timber before machining it.
Vibrates in your hand when detecting a fine brad or big old rusty nail.
Our old metal detector mysteriously destroyed itself and put itself back in its pouch and into the store. ????

SWMBO found this on the beach this morning, no manufacturer identity and no oyher markings other than this. Powered by a 9v battery.
To me appears to be a GPS locator?
Cheers

Oops forgot the pic!
