Title: What are they? Post by: spaceonwhite on April 30, 2017, 06:16:37 PM Probably nothing very exciting but pulled up these 2 today and I have no idea what they are. The one has corroded through to the other side. Anyone have any ideas?

Title: Re: What are they? Post by: spaceonwhite on April 30, 2017, 06:27:50 PM They're really small Val. Only about a 2cm long so the holes are only a few mm wide.
