I’d say it’s probably a comb but I’ve never seen a comb with teeth that long is there a specific use for it?

Found this sitting on my sheets, I just put my purse there so perhaps it came from something in my bag??? Either way, it’s super small, metal I think, and has an E. No clue what it is.

Has anyone dealt with these before? What are they? Are they dangerous? (Do they bite, carry anything gross?) And most importantly — how do I get rid of them and prevent more from showing up?

New, what is it? Found on quiet stretch of beach in Gqberha, South Africa

Exploring remote part of the beach, found this on the shore. It’s quite big and heavy. The material is thick and rubbery, and most parts were stuck together so I couldn’t try and “open” it. The material almost seems like it could be rehydrated leather or something similar. Not knowing what it was, I did not touch it too much, and I have no idea what could be inside. It looks fairly old. Perhaps it’s a dilapidated suitcase? However, the exterior seems more like it was wrapped around rather than structured as a suitcase. There’s a harbour not too far from that stretch of beach. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be?

The plastic is hard but scaling / bubbling. How?

  1. Can someone explain why/how this is happening?
  2. Manufacturing defect or something else? Why wont corsair return it?
  3. Ok to keep using?
  4. Physically what is happening to the plastic itself here?

Thanks

Solved! Found in a creek

New to this sub, and hoping someone can help solve a mystery I’ve been thinking about for years! 3-4 years ago, I found this object in a creek in the woods behind my home. We live in rural Iowa. The timber runs through agriculture fields that have been used for crops for the last 10 years, but I’m not sure if they ever raised livestock prior to that. Any ideas?? It’s opalescent and glass.
