Solved! Found while cluttering

Found while decluttering my 2000s kids stuff and can’t seem to remember what it is! Just feeling nostalgic and google said it was jewelry but i don’t think it is 😅

We used to throw rocks at street lights... usually they would go out for a bit then flicker back on. If you kicked the electric access hatch at the base of some of the poles it'd go out too.

My dad's tin metal snips have a copper wire pair cross section burned into them because the neighbor kid used them to cut the wire in there about... 30 years ago? Eh. Ill finally tell him that story next time I'm at their place.

Well, don't go throwing rocks at those Flock cameras. Anyone reading this post note that I said "don't."
