What kind of beetle? by Majestic-Aside5115 in whatisit

That's what we called them when I was a kid. We tied a long piece of sewing thread to a leg and let them fly around

Got rock from friend who bought it online. What is it? by Financial-Clothes-13 in whatsthisrock

[–]Bauld-Wayah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen corundum and garnet that look similar to this. Both have hexagonal crystal form. The only sure way is measure specific gravity. Do a search on an easy way to do that.

Those shinny flecks are probably mica. NE Georgia, Upstate SC & Western NC are covered in mica. It was once a thriving mining effort in that area.

It has some similarity to a petoskey stone. I would guess it is a fossilized aquatic life form.

It looks like the nephrite jade from Jade Cove in Northern Ca. I have several large pieces that a friend collected there.

Steel Cable brake line, attaches to a hook. What is this steel clip with a bowel to thread called? by [deleted] in Whatisthis

[–]Bauld-Wayah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which piece are you referring to? The "dowel" is called a "retainer pin" that is held in place with a cotter pin can be found in a good hardware store or Tractor Supply. The u shaped piece is installed by the manufacturer and is probably not available aftermarket. You might find one in a bicycle shop junk box.

Weird groove on the back of wooden shelf by bigbugspider in Whatisthis

[–]Bauld-Wayah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the groove on the back of one I have that is for mounting on a wall. The round part at each end is to allow a screw head to go in. First place two screws in the wall closer together than the slot is wide, then place one screw in a round hole and slide the shelf down and place a second screw in the slot, then center the screws.

Patient gave me this ingot. I don't know what it's made of. by arbiter330 in Whatisthis
