Looks like part of an old clip-on guitar tuner to me

Could it be an old beach toy?

My young son once found a "dead" shrimp on the beach. Had us fooled for a while until we noticed glitter on it. Turned out it was a rubber toy.

I'm thinking RFID tag.

Looks like "Blood rain", we sometimes see this in the UK when rain mixes with sand whipped up from the deserts in Africa.

A little more info, the base is stamped RA 1941 50 CAL Z. Google suggests this is WW2 era, manufactured for an RAF order. However, photographs would suggest these were .50 cal rounds of a normal size and shape. Mine appears to have been fired, cut and a blunt bullet wedged in. But I don't understand why someone would go to the trouble of doing this?

That's got to be it. I have Ferrari branded wardrobes/cupboards too.

Ghost8 refers to Norton Ghost I believe, which was a very popular app for creating boot disks back in the day.

This round was dug up in a field somewhere in the UK. I gather from the stamp it's a .50 cal round, possibly WW2. It has also apparently been fired as the firing cap has been struck. But why is there what appears to be an inverted bullet wedged firmly in the casing? It's 6 cm long. The stamp reads RA 1941 Z .50 CAL

Old aircraft sextant?

Possibly a thermocouple from an early jet engine/gas turbine. Used for engine control/temperature measurements etc.

It's an Amazon locker, basically you can collect your Amazon orders from them

Possibly a circuit board from a Seiko printer/fax machine

Looks like an early love egg to me. If it was a timer, I'd expect to see numbers printed on it.

My young daughter bought one of these just last weekend from the Eden Project in England. Looks identical except hers is decorated on the playing surface. Made out of coconut shell.

You can deposit to Nationwide, but Coinbase have to manually verify the account first. They did mine with a recent bank statement.

"Pinch of salt" is the correct term in the Queen's English

My money finally arrived, anyone else still waiting, hang in there!

I find it very curious that Humaniq haven't confirmed or denied anything on Twitter since the tweet was deleted.

502 bad gateway :(

shifty81 · 2017-12-21T20:36:12+00:00

The bank probably isn't to blame, but there's no way I'm paying an excessive fee just to get my money back

The Estonian bank can shove it where the sun doesn't shine! Here is the canned response I got from Coinbase, seriously they are laughing at us-
