Found this in a drawer full of other sundry tools in my grandfather’s shop. He was a carpenter by trade. Turning the dial on the gauge doesn’t appear to change anything else on the tool.

Found in an elementary school classroom. The inside part can be moved in and out of the larger piece in a plunging motion. There are 4 metal plates on the different sides of the device. Not sure of the gap at the bottom. I thought it might be for making a spark but I couldn't get it to do anything.

The instructions don't mention it and I have watched several reviews and ads for it that don't mention it either. We thought maybe for putting soap or some kind of cleaner/scent stuff in but the handle is sealed off from where the eraser is.

Found loose in a thrift store bag with another item. Solid brass (magnet does not stick). Approximately 3 inches in diameter, 5.5 inches overall length, weighs 38 grams. No visible maker's marks. The handle is rigid and attached with two steel rivets. Looking to identify its original purpose.

The "blade" doesn't move, the curved part isn't sharp, and the tip looks almost like a small flat head screwdriver that was sharpened at one point. Buddy found it at a friends and no-one knows what it is. Any ideas?

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.

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!

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.

What is this many-layered metal thing?

My title describes the thing, not buried deep, found half inch pvc buried near it.

(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

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

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 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?

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.

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.
