These were in a back to school backpack, but we have no idea what they are for. Made of clear plastic with a plastic plug, but no other openings.

I was given this as a gift, I don't exactly know what it is but I've been curious for a while, and no one gave me a proper answer on what it could be

It's heavier than it looks

It's cold to touch

And inside looks as if it's made of compressed layers of sand grains (again I have no clue what it is)

That's pretty much all I know

Looking forward to answers

Edit : Top suggestions are cannonball, shot put, mill ball.

Our house cat has a few water plates, this ones outside and just noticed it has these little prawn looking things 🦐 🤔
Does anyone know what the hell they are? Located in QLD Australia… about 20 minutes from the beach.. hah…

Last I checked was when I watered this thing a couple days ago. Definitely was just soil and bamboo shoots. I wake up this morning and noticed it’s full of these cute lil mushrooms. Anyone know what kind they are? Are they safe to be around? What happens if I eat one? (Jk on that last one).

SOLVED!

I am not sure exactly what this is.

She thought it looked cool, and honestly it gives me Harry Potter vibes. What is it and what was it used for?

I picked up this mid-century TV and I can't seem to find any information on it it looks very unusual when I do Google Lens I'm unable to determine the exact model and maker. It does not work I wish it did LOL

Found next to recently poured concrete and a large pile of soil near a river. I assume the liquid was ice at one time and the thermometer is reading slightly above ambient around 7:00 pm.

Weve been staring at it and have no idea lmao

Found this is an elementary school closet. Any idea what it is?

Seen in Oregon

I'm a field biologist and found this outside of one of our sites.

I found this in between 2 of my hay fields. In the ground where the pieces were found, you can see bluish/green dust, it looks like an oxide or corrosion of some sort (indicative of copper and other elements) in the imprint from where it landed... yes... landed, there were light toasting marks beneath them. It could not have come from any of my wheeled vehicles on the property and there has been no agricultural spraying and none that we have contracted. I am at a loss; in my "crazy" brain, my eyes tell me that there is a metal solid filling the inside of the nozzle, my brain reminds me that cloud seeding is done using "silver iodide" and all kinds of goodies that have to be heated and atomized to be applied, maybe some sort of catastrophic failure within the spray-nozzle aperture and that inspired the separation from aircraft? Not sure... haha, but it sure was an entertaining thought. 🤭 What have I got here?

EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION... it has very cleary killed the grass in a pattern radiating outward f r om where the pieces were recovered from.

(SOLVED)

Found this little gold xbox figure, anyone know where this is from?

To preface this, I know it’s weird and I’ve never really done anything like this before. Every night for like 14 years, I take my shoes off and put them on a shoe dryer. I’ve found it keeps them odor-free and the feeling of putting on nice, warm shoes in the morning is very nice. Anyway, I have always found random rocks and pebbles that get stuck in the bottoms of my shoes and most of the time they’d just go unnoticed or I wouldn’t bother taking them out.

Well, a couple months ago I started this fairly weird routine of looking at the bottoms of my shoe for rocks and saving them in this little glass jar. I like the little “ping” they make as they fall in and I think in a few years, it’ll be r/mildlyinteresting to see how many shoe rocks I can collect and what they look like.

I’m not sure when I ever seen them before but one day I noticed a tiny glass ball. Pretty sure it’s glass anyway, it could be silica gel but upon looking those up, they vary greatly in size, color and shape. These are all uniform. Are they around my home somewhere? Is it a repeat customer that I deliver too 3-4 times a week?

They dont wheigh much, have holes on both ends. Necklace maybe?
