A Couple Of Little Round Heavy Things

[GopherDaGold]

Almost eighty degrees today so I got out to a field just across from me. In the field there is a small tree-lined oasis with an even smaller pond in the middle. I detected around a huge old tree and the small embankment. Found these three items about four inches down and within a foot of each other. The two pieces with the tiny holes stick to a magnet, the small ring does not. Any ideas?

Hey buddy.

I'll be honest with you...I have no Idea

It may have something to do with air compression or filter of some sort

Looks they're from inside sink faucets.

I will see if they stick to metal after work today. Good possibility!

I'm not discounting the faucet aerator theory either, they just seem a bit large for that.

Early telephone handset microphone and earphone. They used magnets and carbon. Ever know an older person who raps the phone on a table before talking - that's why. The carbon granules "pack-up".

Reminds me of safe lock guts, though a bit small. maybe a combination lock system of some sort. I would check that place a bit closer.
