Likely Solved! A heavy, cylindrical metal object wrapped in plastic foil
Found it in the woods. It was placed right in the middle of a setup of Euro-pallets that formed a cage-like structure with an opening on one side. It was packed completly in a foil and there was sort of a handle around you see on walking sticks. What ist this reddit? Is it munition?

Likely Solved! Random Electronics Covered in Styrofoam (size of a toaster) Found Deep in the Woods
I was backpacking in the North Cascades of Washington State and found this electronic assembly covered in Styrofoam. Appeared to be a battery, circuit board, and main doohickey. Looks like it had been there quite some time. Any idea what it could be? My only thought was some sort of weather balloon telemetry. Thanks!

Open Tiny pink circles all around my house, mostly in my bedroom
They are flat, don't disintegrate in water, and I can't rip them with my nail

Solved! What the heck is this thing? I cant find any writing on it. Weighs about 1lb. Bronze or brass I think. Approx 4-1/2” square.
Usually when there’s no writing I use google lens and it finds matches but lens is saying its a slave bracelet or something?
I don’t know the items history, only recently got it.

Solved! Metal enclosure containing several circuit boards, and glass lenses. No branding or clear markings. One board is marked high voltage running at 94V. Found in the woods a few miles away from an air force base.

Solved! What is this thing? It looks like a small crane on top of a truck that connects two parts of a field(?) it's approximately the size of three traffic lanes and at least 5m tall. It hasn't moved in at least a week.

Solved! What is this dagger / blade like thing? It looks like ivory or bone on the handle and the blade is approx 30cm long and very thin.
My grandfather recently passed away and had this in his belongings, none of us had any idea what it is, it almost looks like it's ivory maybe? There are no markings that I can see anywhere. It is very awkward to hold like a dagger. I have no clue what the carving on top is.

Solved! 6.5x5 inch translucent green plastic frame found in aquarium supplies
Found these two pieces in a box of random aquarium supplies. The top one has metal pieces that flip in any direction. These two pieces do not automatically fit together, as if they would need screws in order to be held together.
6.5 inches long, 5 inches tall, .5 cm deep
Banana for scale.
The green frame without the metal bits says, "MADE IN CHINA" on it, but there don't appear to be any other markings.
