I think it's a lot lighter Duty than that maybe something out like a piece of luggage or something of that nature. But it does bother me that I found so many of these things over the last 6 months. They're coming from somewhere.
Yes, I hate finding unidentifiable objects around the property. Through long, hard, experience, I have learned to file them until I figure it out.

A long while back, I found an odd dark screw with two different threads on it just inside the house. I kept for a few weeks and then pitched it. About a year later, I noticed the lower part of the front door handle was missing one screw. I unscrewed another, and low and behold, it was a dark, two threaded screw. Replacements are $95. You have to buy a whole new door handle/lock from Schlage...

Good luck on the search. Hopefully it is something simple like a backpack zipper.

All the best,

Peter

I have had similar experience with finding a strange part, which I later determined to be needed.

I was also thinking it could be some sort of household item. Since he found one in the house and one in the garage, that would tend to rule out a tractor or implement part. Puzzling.

I was out checking on a skidder/chainsaw job last fall and found a bolt laying in the road. I showed it to the contractor, who happened to be there, and to the woodcutter but they didn't think it came off any of the equipment. The mechanic saw it though and knew just what it was; some essential bolt which would have left the skidder stranded in the woods if they'd kept running it.
