Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
The 'cloth' in the pic looks to be denim. Is it clothing related? A rivet from a pair of jeans or is it bigger than that?

Haha, the denim is my jeans, I have the object wedged between my knees so you cant see the whole of it.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Yes Cathy, you're right. It wasn't until I printed the pic on the page that I realised you could read the maker's name!
Try this one....
What is it and what's the connection with J R Tolkien?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I know what it is and why it's connected with Tolkien. A related species has been in the news here because the first one in the UK was found in Surrey recently and it's a threat to our crops. But I'll let other members have a go at pinning it down (pun intended!).
