Last time I found an unidentified piece of metal it turned out to be a fife.

On the other hand, there are quite a few unidentified objects in grandpa’s garage.

I thought a fife was usually made from wood. And the fingering holes should give them away

Did you mean file? (As in “bastard grade file”.)
