Whatever it is it is gross looking! JIM

 

[JakePhelps]

Yep it is pretty gross, and wet too, i forgot to let it dry before i took a pic

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Jake, I might know what this is. Is it made out of copper?

 

[JakePhelps]

No, it looks ferrous like iron or steel But you still could be right

I vote for a petrified o'possum anus!? Back in? the stoneage they collected them and made them into necklaces.? Sometmes, stoneage man not being too bright didn't wait long enough and the o'possum was still attached.? This caused many nasty bites and scratches, resulting in infections and the average life span of only about 32 years.? Apparently it happened a lot?? Sometimes if they had fire available they would attach the o'pposum to the necklace and lean over the fire pit to let the o'possum dangle from his anus into the fire which resulted in the discovery of cooked meat.? This discovery raised the average life span to 32.5 years except for the dangler who usually got an infection from the burns on his face and upper torso and died.? ?Which led to the first known incidence of cannibalism because gee, why waste cooked meat?? If that isn't what it is then I haven't a clue.? It still looks gross.? Oh, and P.S......Don't try this at home!? ?? JIM

 

[JakePhelps]

LOL It does kinda look like an anus

You're close, but I think it is armadillo.

Jimmy, you are hilarious. I think you should write a column for the newspaper or a book. You give Dave Barry a run for his money.

Sorry, Jake. I can't help you on that anus shaped object.

 

[Terry In Florida]

Looks like a purse snap to me...

 

[JakePhelps]

Oops, sorry for not including a ruler, its a little bit bigger than a golf ball

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

You need to clean it up and see if it looks like this. I found this container on a Victrola Talking Machine full of rusted needles.

 

[JakePhelps]

Definetly not that This thing is less than an inch tall.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Definetly not that ? This thing is less than an inch tall.

I guess not. Mine is 1-1/16 inch tall. But how did you know?

 

[JakePhelps]

Just by looking your needle container looks biger than my "metal anus"

 

[DigEmAll]

Could that be an ink well? I have seen on before, but can't seem to place it. One day it will pop into my head and you will get a strange PM from me that says "It's a muffler bearing for a jet airplane." or something to that effect!

 

[SugarSand]

One of the best threads ever! And Jimmileo, you are a great thinker like myself! Sorry I can't help ID...

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Definitely not that ? This thing is less than an inch tall.

I guess not. Mine is 1-1/16 inch tall. But how did you know?

I apologize for being sarcastic. When I push the top on tight, it IS less than 1 inch tall and about the size of a golf ball. The needles in pic are old phonograph needles; before your time. Is it worth taking another look?

 

[JakePhelps]

No need to apologize for anything, i dont mind sarcasm Mine is a quarter inch tall. Could it be a smaller one maybe? Ill get better pics tonight.

[ /quote] Probably not, unless it has rusty phonograph needles inside.
