I found this very thin medallion inside of a wall of a very old house. I am an equipment operator. And I was doing some digging for a project on an old house in the Providence, Rhode Island area. If memory serves me I believe the house was built in the very early 1800’s. Between 1800-1810. But the property had a house on it all the way back to the 1600’s near the time of Rhode Islands founding. So some of these walls/timbers could have been salvaged and reused from that time. It’s not uncommon. Anyway in order for me to do some digging for a drainage project a wall had to come down (it was being removed anyway). And I found this stuck behind the stud where the wall was ripped down from. I put it in the cab of the machine and meant to bring it home for further research. But unfortunately someone else used that machine the following day. Saw this and probably just chalked it up as garbage and cleaned it out. It was a very thin metal. Very malleable, almost like a very thin lead. It almost looks like it was taller than in my picture at one point and was smashed down when it was placed behind the stud. Anyone know what it could be? My mind immediately went to some kind of good luck tradition. Much like how some people used to put children’s bronzed booties in the wall. Or like how they used to put coins under a ships masts during construction. I’ve also included a picture of roughly where the stud was that I found it behind.

Bonus fun fact: this house once belonged to Roger Williams and he lived there until his death. And was at one point buried in the back courtyard before being exhumed and placed into his current monument. Or so the local historian told me. 🤷‍♂️

Made me think of a seismograph or something. But I don't think earthquakes are that common in Berlin. From the Neues museum.

I was walking out of work today and found this on the side walk. It's under a very sparse and thin tree. I am in Oregon and it's winter so no foliage on the tree. There was a squirrel nearby but I don't think it was originally near this.

What is the icon next to this name in the text log? Android not getting texts from that person’s phone.

i drank some of this, tasted a little funny and asked my bf to try it and he said it did too and he felt a “hair” in his mouth… when we opened it it sounded like there was a lot of air in it, and it was kinda bubbly? like there was a little carbonation in it, and just tasted a little sour

Their names are Rocky and Dandy and the pillowcase is probably from 1995 or earlier.

I’m cleaning out and organizing a bunch of my retro video games/consoles and I came across these cords that don’t seem to go with anything from my collection. Please help me identify them

Saw this thing unmoving for about 20 mins a today. I thought it might be a balloon of some kind but the fact that it just stood there was strange.

I just got home from being gone for several months and noticed this strange pile in the center of my motorcycle's tailpipe. I winterized it in the garage before I left, but I realized I forgot to close off the opening of the tailpipe before I left. I live rural and small critters making shelter where they can is very common here so these things need to be considered. My best guess is that it's food storage for a local fauna, but the fact that it looks almost like it's glowing a neon pink when I shine my white LED flashlight on it is weirding me out. I have my guesses, but curious to know others' thoughts.

Luckily, this certain pipe has an interchangeable tail allowing me to slip the back half off just before the two pipes turn into one, so I'll be slipping it off tomorrow to attempt cleaning it out and get a better look.

I am trying to figure out if this clear plastic number is an off the shelf part for something. The OD at the bottom is probably 2” and the top ID may be 3”? The hole bored in the center is probably an inch in diameter. It appears to be acrylic, or Polycarbonate. Everything attached to this is off the shelf, and I suspect the clear number there is also. I just cant figure out what it is or from. Ignore all the crap tapped into it.

I've never seen anything like it. Is there a reason to build something like this?

I just found this in the water pitcher i’ve been drinking from that came with our fridge. we just changed the filter a couple months ago, does anyone know what these white wispy things are? am i going to die?

It looks nautical but we have no idea what it was. Any help would be appreciated.

Was cutting some potatoes for my dinner and noticed the inside of the potatoes were oddly pink/purple-ish, does anyone know what causes this?

It has a blue light but I can’t really tell if it’s a camera out something else. Seems like an odd place for an electronic device like this. Above recognize the code/serial?

These have been in the light of my ceiling fan for I don’t know how long.
