Someone on Next Door wondering why these are showing up in their yard. Kind of look like dowel pin fasteners, but I've never seen ones like this. Anyone have an idea? There is construction going on nearby.

Fertilizer stake?

Something for scale so we could tell the size would be helpful.

They look a bit like pop rivet pins, but those aren’t rounded on both ends, as I recall.

Thought it might be, but the mold joint along the side and injection port artifact in the middle suggests it is a molded plastic part?

Were they in the glove compartment ? The basement medicine cabinet ?
In a pill bottle on the tractor ?
Tucked in the toe of aunt vinnies chore boots ?

How did they come about them ?

Were they hidden in the box of baking soda in the refrigerator?

Or at the bottom of a toy box they bought at an auction ?

They said they keep finding them in their yard.

Reported to be exactly two inches long.

That looks like it. What is a backflush rod?
