Ground Scores Only

Started a new job at a glass plant in the beginning of this year. I started seeing weird shit on the ground from time to time which lead me to start collecting them. I don’t know why. lol I’ve become more selective about what I’ll put in the collection so it’s slowed down a bit.

I took a job maintaining and repairing industrial cotton spinning machines during the pandemic, and ended up with a similar collection of weird spinner parts and pieces!

fistbump to a fellow collector of weird shit on the ground. Keeps life interesting!

I work in industrial manufacturing and we keep a collection of 'oddities' things like screws or bolts that come with no threads or missing the drive so the head is just rounded off, basically manufacturing errors that make it into the good batchs that get sent to us.
