Default How did they create that sound on "Mercy Mercy Me"?

On Marvin Gaye's cut "Mercy Mercy Me" there's this repetitive
echoing "ponk" that sort of sounds like a sonar ping or something.
Anyone know how that sound was created? Seems I may have heard it
on other songs as well.


I think it's a woodblock with a ton of reverb.
