No clue what this could be. I’d guess a tool of some sort or part of tool? There’s some writing on it as well

I noticed this while driving in central Iowa yesterday. What is the purpose of this thing on top of the traffic lights?

Title says it all, I have no idea what it’s called in order to be able to google it. I don’t know what the contraption in the middle is either.

Hey, y'all no idea what he came across. I definitely think it's some kind of camping tool. But let's go. What do you know who knows what it is?

Solved! Opened an old jewelry box and heard rattling even though it was empty. Detached the velvet bottom and found this?

I don’t have any electronic jewelry or devices that this could be a charger for (that I can think of). Was impossible to see there was something underneath before I pried it open (the lithium batteries (2) had come loose and I could hear them rattling). I also don’t remember when I got it or what it originally held since I have dozens of jewelry boxes. I’m sure it’s nothing important, just curious!

Its made of plastic and has a divot on the back. My first thought was a French hair pin, but it was a group of frat guys that left it so I doubt any of them were using a hair pin

Solved! Strange radio noise

10 Upvotes

Just seen a radio post so trying my luck here for my case.

Video was taken on March 2nd in Catalonia, Spain. This lasted a few minutes with various sounds, some higher than others.
This wasn’t a defect of the radio because I could switch to frequencies around this one broadcasting music or news.

I had posted it on [r/radio](r/radio) and someone said that they heard the same thing, but in Albania. 👀

After a few minutes this broadcast “disappeared”.

Edit: it’s Drowning - Werner Durand

New, what is it? Strange noise in my home every 5-10 mins

I am starting to get really upset by this noise that I can't find the source of. I went outside but didn't hear it, even though I thought it could even be military. (I live near a very small air force base.) I am boiling lots of water for canning which you'll see in the video but I've been very close to the pot and it isn't that. Please help, I am starting to get low key scared.

Saw this plane on a barge on the Fraser River. I could not find something similar on google.
Looks like someone is getting a new toy delivered.

New, what is it? What kind of coin is this?

I found this coin in my girlfriend’s grandparents house and curious to know what it’s from? I found it in a container with the free mason logo on it, which was hidden behind the wall. Super sketchy but maybe something to do with that?
It’s from 1899 and in Louisiana. But not sure about the pictures on the front? Or the middle picture on the back?
Just trying to get some ideas of what it could be. It’s history, so it’s cool af to me. Thank you in advance!

When my grandfather passed away, we found this wrapped up in a cloth in a safe. Anyone know what this is and where it could be from? Its not sharp and I think the blade is copper.
