Found whilst clearing the loft, I must have kept it for a reason, but I haven't got a clue what it's for.
Spring retracted point and designed to fit over something. It's probably very obvious and I'm sure I don't need it but...any ideas?

It's the end of a spent uranium rod used in a nuclear reactor.. I'm surprised your hair and finger nails haven't fallen out...

Alien implant?

You removed it from you head, cleaned it up and hid it, then they found out and put a new one in and erased those memories.

Well, i can't believe the might of STW has failed me. I can't throw it away now, it'll have to move house with us, until I remember was it does and why I kept it.

Ooh, I had an old Sony amp, in fact I still have it but it's packed. I think that could be it, I seem to remember it was a spring button with a hole for the speaker wires. I'll check when, and if we ever unpack. Thanks.
Bit worried though about the Uranium, nails looking dodgy and my hair seems to be missing ๐Ÿ™‚
