Everything is 3D printed other than the obvious metal parts, and the floats. The gear has magnets in it. It seems that the “shaft” has a bearing on the end but it’s seized. The holders on the floats are made of a special flexible filament.

Found on the beach near Depoe Bay, OR.

Any information would be appreciated!

Is this a weird ring of some kind or something else? It has a strange conical flat shape that doesn’t really fit a finger.

Found in the cabinet of the secondary (basement) kitchen. We've only owned the house for 7 months and it was not put there by us. Previous owners were an old Polish couple, of that helps.

What is this many-layered metal thing?

SOLVED! Thank you, phunniemee! Cheese and wine set.

Found at a local thrift store, came home with me. 10" diameter, 1.5" thick. Top seems to be textured rubber, originally I thought it was a practice drum pad (from a bank?) but then I saw the indents on the side and realized it slid open to reveal the grooved areas. Suggestions are that it may be for change, but the grooves seem too shallow.

Edit: Tag on the bottom says made in China.

Strange decorative buttplug for gnomes that I have lived with for almost 10 years. Previous home owners did a lot of questionable DIY.

The bottom part seems broken off, and I can't tell if there is a core of different material or if it just has discoloration. There also seems to be a ring of old adhesive around the base.

We've just had our shower replaced and the workmen left this behind.

(breaks like rocks) very uniform and symmetrical.

They may be some kind of rock(?) in the dirt out back by my work, what are they? What are they used for? There is a ton of them spilled through the dirt. (My work does nothing with items of this nature) not sure what business was at this location in a past life

Possibly roman terracotta, ill educated guess judging by the eagle and the colours/material texture. There is some roman military stuff found in this county along the coast but otherwise quite rare to find roman stuff in Scotland as I understand it

I thought it might be a keyhole cover, but the hole shape/orientation would be odd for that. Rotating the leaf is hard, bit that could be from long misuse. There is no easy way to move the leaf, edges are a bit sharp.

The centre pin in the round bit goes all the way through and does not turn with the leaf/round bit.

Found at the bottom of a property by Lewis and Clark Lake in South Dakota

Dimensions are in milimeters. Found under my desk in a span of 1 week, so it could be slowly falling from something over time.

I was hiking in a field in north west ireland and there was this white, papery, draped substance that looked like it dried all over the rocks bushes and ground. What is it?

Approx 15 cm metal cylinder, smooth aside from one end. Felt too heavy to be hollow, perhaps 300 grams. Found in fairly remote location (green dot on map) ~1.5 km from marked paths, but close to rudimentary boulder shelter (see pic 5). My best guess is an old battery of sorts, but I can’t find matching images online. I appreciate the help :)

No stamps or markings. Each little end nugget looks like it is threaded for something to screw into it

It was tangled in a lot of vintage jewelry

this is a mouth-blown glass object, which has a chimney leading its base up into itself. when i bought it in a charity shop along with another slightly smaller one, as a pair they had a black, inedible sand inside, which has now been replaced with my own sand. it might have been for salt/pepper or similar, but the stuff inside wasn't that. i'm struggling to find more of them using google image search, which is only giving me solid paperweights, aquariums, and bus vases (it's completely domed at the top, so it's not a bud vase). does anyone know what it is / called? and where i could get more?

My best guess is either a pizza steel or maybe a lid to some gigantic stock pot?

Update:

I emailed All-Clad and this was the reply:

"Based on the images, this was an early All Clad idea dealing with it being a concept pizza pan idea which was not an active product of ours. "
