You have a few options:
-
Sell as scrap metal
-
Offer them to local metal artists
-
Reuse for craft or DIY projects
-
Check with antique tool or industrial collectors
Even if they’re not rare, bulk metal pieces can still have practical value.
The Bottom Line
While finding a mysterious box of identical metal discs can feel like uncovering hidden treasure, the most likely explanation is far more practical.
These appear to be unfinished metal blanks — leftover inventory from a manufacturing process.
Stored in a basement for convenience, forgotten over time, and rediscovered years later.
Sometimes old houses don’t hide secrets…
They just hide old projects that were never finished.
