You get a gold star. The minus one point for imagining leather bits is offset by teaching me the right word for the dark sparkly bits, "swarf". Although, after checking, I believe these bits are welding/cutting torch spatter, and not strictly swarf from a rotary cutting tool.

glatt gets a cookie for the story guess. Here's your cookie! Wait, the cookie's not ready yet. Sorry, still cookin!

This is hindsight, but I knew it wasn't snigola. It's too .... jibouly to be snigola.

I thought maybe it was under a temperate temperature of 40 degrees. The properties of snigola can indeed become very jibouly under those conditions. Not to mention the change in elastarmity. Snigola is an enigma.

So, it's weld spatter?

I though it was shavings off a ƒucking metal bar, but someone beat me to the correct answer, so I can't properly be the wiseass.

so, it's whatever is inside these ankle weights.

for, like, weight, y'know? you've seen what I've seen. it is magnetic. but I didn't think welding splattered like this . to me, it seems like cutting torch spatter. doesn't weld spatter stick to what is being welded? I don't know. I don't speak metal as fluently as I speak wood or other media.

Depleted Uranium, probably. Do your ankles glow?

Not used that way, so don't know.

But the handle for the roses (the brown rootstock, if you will) does feel warm in my hand.
