I don't know but will tell the owner this theory. Thanks

re 2824, so what you are saying is sometimes a broken rake is just a
broken rake!

Nah, Rob just throws in a trick question/trick item, now and then, to keep us on our toes, to see if we're paying attention.

I like this idea though the owner said that a magnet would not stick to it, but I will pass this along to him nonetheless.

Could possibly be a 'Moqui ball', also known as Shaman Stones. If it is its
about 135 million years old and has a sandstone centre and an iron oxide
shell. They are used in healing and meditation. KEEP AWAY FROM WATER as
they dissolve.

 Whenever they put on the straight 
 jacket, my nose itches. 

I have a pair of these and magnets don't stick to them either.
FWIW the picture looks like a 'male' Moqui and should be used with a
'female' Moqui.

Is it possible that 2831 is an undersea manganese nodule? That would
appear as a dark, nonmagnetic, "metal".

Someone had donated it to a museum in Canada and they sent me the photos of it along with the pipe reamer from last week, I should have asked them about the broken tines last week.

This one was marked as being a different type of knife.
