+webscouter. Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 The bottom one is a Magellan GPS reciever. It's worth about half of the two items above it. Link to comment
Diamondback5 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 The top item is an aerial flare. The bottom item looks to be the tube that lanched the flare. Link to comment
+swampy & tweety Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 The bottom tube is sealed at both ends. Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Something you may want to stay away from? Ask the rangers maybe? Link to comment
bug and snake Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Might be a shegashiator, with the fernaca plate still inside it. Which means that it might still be capable of dis-enscrapulating you. The one still sealed that is. I would get the ranger or someone there to check it out, IN PLACE! Do not place in pack or pockets. Better safe than busted - 'specially if there might be kids in the area. Link to comment
+Tharagleb Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I think it is a hemulator from a 1953 Wooferman. Link to comment
bug and snake Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Were they still using the fernaca plate in '53? Link to comment
+Subterranean Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Those are levarites! Are you my old geology professor?? Many times I've picked up a rock sample only to learn that it's "leverite." The darn stuff seems to be everywhere... Link to comment

+Jake2687 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 muffler bearings from a first generation flux capacitor. Link to comment
+tands Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 The bottom one is, of course, a Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. Do not mess with this device, as it is capable of creating an earth-shattering kaboom! - T of TandS Link to comment

+Robespierre Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Now here we have a fresh brand new "3-post" rookie, and y'all go an goof around....I was looking for the X pattern to see if it was a canine footprint, or maybe a mountain lion. Hope he's not intimidated. Link to comment
+Blaidd-Drwg Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Let me speak with a army career's worth of authority on your find. The top portion is as identified a flare. It comes packaged in the tube at the bottom. To launch the flare, you remove the cap from the tube and place it on the bottom. You then either ram the tube onto the ground causing the cap to stike the primer in the bottom of the tube. Alternatively, after placing the cap on the bottom of the tube, you can hit it with the palm of your hand. This has been know to result in a bruised palm. Bottom line, the items you have found are most likely no longer hazardous, but unless you know exactly what your dealing with, you should just avoid it. Link to comment
+swampy & tweety Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 I thought that's what it might be. They are still out in the woods, off the beaten path. Thanks to those who replied.You satisfied my curiosity. Link to comment
