I found a small brass compass with a worn leather cord this afternoon around 3:40 pm behind the Safeway on Sterling Highway in Soldotna, in the Kenai Peninsula. It's about the size of a quarter, with a slightly cracked lid and a tiny engraving 'M' on the back. There's a frayed blue cord wrapped around it and a faint smell of old oil from years of use. I know how much a keepsake like this can mean to someone who spends time on the water, so I wanted to post it here in case the owner spots it and can claim it.
