ID this thing

Over the last 6 months or so, I've found 3 of these. One in the house, one in the garage, and one on the barn floor. Haven't a clue where they are coming from. But they was part of something at one point anyone know?

The image is kind of blurry but it could also be a cotter ring.

If you find any clevis pins laying around you’ll know why!

A little clearer picture

I know it as an easy on key ring, but I am mystified as to why they are sprouting all over for you. Have you been too keyed up lately?

The helicoils that I have used have been diamond in cross section, and that would be a monster helicoil.

No idea what it is really.

All the best,

Peter

The clearer photo makes that most likely, I think.

It's some type of keeper ring. Never seen that type before.

I'd be checking all the attachment points on the 3-point hitch.

Clevis pins without keeper rings - missing clevis pins on implements.

I think it's a lot lighter Duty than that maybe something out like a piece of luggage or something of that nature. But it does bother me that I found so many of these things over the last 6 months. They're coming from somewhere.

Maybe its something from the UFOs that the aliens are dropping.
We aint the only ones that lose hitch pins
