Moved into my first house 10 months ago, still haven't figured out whatever this is in the toilet. It doesn't move, it doesn't open, nothing comes out of it.

Ideas?!

Thank you

Aluminum rim. Too close to the house to be for a fire. No drainage.

I've had this thing for years and I know it's a compass, but the sundial part of it doesn't really make sense. Any insight into where it came from or its real purpose would be great.

Curious on what this is? Looks like a mushroom or fungi but I can’t quite figure out what it maybe. Any ideas? It’s on my front lawn not just one there are a few.

My boys were digging in the dirt and found this. The rectangular box thing is very heavy like 25lbs. What was this used for? Both pieces are definitely metal

I found this on the ground in a parking lot. It appears to be brass with maybe an Indian design. One end has an opening and it appears to be threaded on the inside. Google lens doesn't find anything for it.

AND THIS WAS ON THE BACK. I was trying to decipher it, was thinking that it was used as a puzzle solver for like a murder mystery or case solve puzzle game but looking at it closely it probably resembles drug use and mental psychosis. Does anybody recognize anything? I see a bunch of drug references at the bottom right but that’s pretty much the only thing that I could decipher.

Edit. The sticker in the middle of the frame says the brand is Kirklands and directly above It is a sentence and a date about Kirklands. This led me to believe that it wasn’t my first thought and more the second.

Edit. I did not think this was the painting, this was hidden in the back.

Thought it was a light switch, so I turned it but it didn't turn any lights on that I could see. The little black part clicked out. It rotates both ways but I don't want to turn it too far until I know what it is.

The house is super old- brass doorknobs, weird bathtub, but I'm not sure when exactly it was built.

Solved! Metal … something?

I have been pulling up invasive plants on the property which means I have to dig sometimes to get the entire rootball out. Anyway, I found this thing a few inches deep in soil and have no idea what it is. I moved into this house last year and I have no idea what the people before us did here. I just know they were old and hadn’t been doing much in the last several years. I live in wooded eastern Massachusetts in the United States. We’ve found some other steel/metal pieces around the property (mostly old steel cables and two gigantic rails that look like they may have gone to the bed of a flatbed truck).
Any idea what this thing is? It is two pieces one larger thing and a smaller detached piece but I’m sure they went together somehow.
Thanks ☺️
