Do you take "mystery objects" for your STR tenants to guess?

I took this around yesterday when collecting rent.  Only one person could guess what it was.  There are 3 small loose lead pellets in the button shaped chamber at the bottom.  What do you think it is?

 Close enough.  It's an orientation marker for taking X-rays.  The little lead balls will be at the bottom of the round chamber in the x-ray.  The lead L 17 will also show up.

I left it with some of my tenants to show their co-workers for the next week.  If they can guess what it is, they'll get a prize.  The prize will be a free nights rent if they move into one of my places.

 Lucky guess based on the two most likely uses of lead being radiation or weight related. A third use is lead acid for batteries. There are probably more uses, but lead is loosing popularity due to heavy metal poisoning. I have always enjoyed heavy metal myself...
