Lots of clad, ring ,cheap bracelet and trash. I got into my 2nd coin spill of the year. his time I found 9 Roosevelt dimes in the same hole.Too bad they were all newer ones.I found a thing I have no idea what it what used for. It has a pointed end on both ends like a dart. The center is like a straw . It is clear and has some kind of twisted metal in it . Any ideas what it was used for?

The double ended plastic/glass piece I think is a "scribe" used for marking metal, laying out artwork etc.

See if it will scratch a piece of metal or glass, if it does then the metal tips are most likely carbide.

Usually they are used by metal workers/machinists to make marks on metal, but also artists will use them as well to layout art pieces or glass work.

Here's a photo of a one that's all metal.

I think you'll find the mystery item is a 'dotting pen', used by manicurists.

It would have been part of a set, with some having sharp spikes in various sizes used to create designs and decorations on both natural nails and semi-permanent nail polish. This one has tiny spheres on the end of the spikes for precision application of nail polish, gel, or rhinestones in nail art applications:
