Yeehaw! You’re in! Very glad you labeled this because I’d never have known what it is. It’s so gorgeous I thought it might some decoration around the house.

  You were the first to figure it out… you get a shiny high five!
Ziva

Ohh, it’s a shiny piece of cheese! No? Well, it’s very pretty and very shiny nonetheless. I’m glad you’e in!
- Katherine Murray
  
  No cheese, just a shiny fishen weight!

I agree with Cheryl. I had no idea what it was tell I read the label. Very shiny.

  My good friend brought some new weights fishing this Sunday with us… I looked in the bag and thought, “Score! SHINY!”

  Yes, but what most don’t know but you figured out, it is a LOTR fishing weight! 🙂

That photo is three kinds of shiny, which is triply awesome. It also qualifies for the theme of heavy, which means you only need 28 more photographs. So take a breather, and relax.
- Katherine Murray
  
  Oh oh and no one noticed… honestly, I didn’t notice either until today… the weight has a HEART on it!

Great photo! I can’t really tell what it is, but I like it!
- Katherine Murray
  
  It’s for FISHEN! Yeaaa!!!! Our favorite pass time, just after swimming in the ocean, and just before hiking. 🙂

Perfect photo! I’ve been around those since I was a babe! Too light for the big surf but just right for spot!!
- Katherine Murray
  
  Ha ha you ROCK!!! Not only did you know what it is, but you know what would work and what wouldn’t!!!! Actually I’ve been using 2 oz lately because my fishing rod is on its last legs. I plan to ask for a 10 footer for my birthday. So for now I go with 2 oz and just skip fishing on nasty current days. My son, with his monster fishing rod, sometimes uses 4 oz. I’m jealous!

- Katherine Murray
  
  I can’t ask for more… interesting and shiny is what I was hoping for! Thanks!
Paula Wooters

All that shininess is only 2 ounces? Whoa!
- Katherine Murray
  
  Yup! Funny you said that… my kids tease me because I KNOW it is ounces on fishing weights, but sometimes I slip and say something like, “Do you know where the three pound weights are?” Now THAT would be fun to cast!
Nicky

That is a… it’s a… well, I don’t know what it is, but it is shiny!
- Katherine Murray
  
  Ha ha you don’t fish! 🙂 It is a weight for surf fishing… something you find all around in my car! 🙂
Barb

oh wow… a fishing weight? Neat!
- Katherine Murray
  
  Yup, you got it! It never occurred to me that others would not know what it was – I guess I am so used to them! So you win!
Mel

I was going for a necklace pendant. And then I looked closer and smiled. Oh, but what an excellent starting photo! Seriously……up close, personal–just the right angle and with great light and a tinge of reflection.
Seriously awesome photo!
- Katherine Murray
  
  Mel, the day I took it, Sunday, was AMAZING… we were fishing and the sun was just right. AND we had a wonderful croaker for dinner!
Coco

It’s an interesting photo. I haven’t noticed it’s beautiful like this. I’m looking forward to your next one!
- Katherine Murray
  
  I’m already stuck on the third word – others have gotten ahead already and I’m stuck on three! 🙂
Jamie Baker

At first I thought it was a wedding band imbedded in that hunk of metal and thought “Uh, oh, somebody’s sunk.” Then I realized what it was and realized I was kinda close. Noce pic.
- Jamie Baker
  
  Or nice pic… if you’re picky. 🙂
- Katherine Murray
  
  Thanks.. now if I can just learn to keep the camera LEVEL! 🙂
Margaret

I’m loving everyone’s shiny objects today, YOURS included!
- Katherine Murray
  
  After seeing your own shiny, I was thinking I wish I had tried to get my reflection in it… I loved this first word!
Cheryl P.

Fits the prompt perfectly…not that any of us can figure out what it is. Very clever of you!
- Katherine Murray
  
  It’s a fishing weight for a bottom rig – we were fishing Sunday and I saw it and thought… SHINY!
Lauren

Is that an ankle monitor for elf #2? Perfect shot. You know your way behind a camera.
