Does anyone know what this thing is??

[microbe.72]

Found this burried 6 inches deep- in a wooded area next to a beach. It's 4 1/4 inches long and 1 1/2 wide. There is rust on the front and back of this- but the middle part has no rust. There is a hole on one side of it. Have no idea what it is.View attachment what5.bmpView attachment what 6.bmpView attachment what4.bmp

You can't see the banner in specific catagories only on the main forum page, home page or Active Topics page, I guess. That's not too cool is it? I'll have to bring that up on their " New software help, bug, glitch or report thread" post.

The banner images were gone on the main page but I can see them now. I still cannot figure how to post images

Pics are ".bmp" files and Macs don't seem to like these even with updated Firefox.

I'm using a 10 year old HP running Windows XP using IE8 and occasionally Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7, i'm not having a problem with seeing or at least being able to click on images to view them.

I have literally thousands of files collected over the years that I use in the identification process. Do I have to change all my jpg files to bmp files if I decide I want to participate and post images?

BigCypressHunter, I've managed to succeed at posting some .jpg imagefiles under the new TN format. I'll tell you (with details) how I did it. Please send me a PM with an email address I can reach you at. I'd PM mine to you, but the PMs I send to you keep getting rejected with a notification that your PM box is full.

I know. Ill try when I get more time. I cant seem to find my emails. Maybe because Im categorized as a "vistor" and not a member. (dont know icon) I have had other personal problems that are more demanding of my time and right now I may not have the time or patience to sort through the errors and learn this new system to participate in the same capacity as I have since 2004.. It seems to me odd that you have to jump through loops to post a common jpeg image. (scratch head icon) The whole thing seems to me extremely UNuser friendly.(good place for the new thumbs down icon) Maybe the new TN is geared toward young computer wizards.(dont know icon)

I think it best that I stay away for a while and try to use my much needed time for myself with all the problems Im having. Im trying to keep from losing my land to creditors, even though its paid for and all taxes and fines up to date, but not legally homesteaded...(sad icon) Ill check back in a few months and the glitches should be solved and ill try to learn the new system then. Thanks and HH..
