[My apologies in advance for presenting a First World Problem...but then having a solution!]

Yeah...I am one of those people who has that special skill for losing small parts. You name it...guns or computers or plumbing or cars or just fixing some random equipment in the house, and I will invariably drop a small part onto the floor, or even more fun shoot it across the room...propelled by some tiny little spring that is shockingly powerful!

Magnets! Ain't they grand! That silly little pressed metal container has a few cheap rare-earth magnets embedded in the base, and it holds everything nicely...even on end, so it is easier to pick up when needed.

It's pretty much perfect, and a marvelous First World Solution to a First World Problem.

Oh...anyone who can identify what's in the magic magnet bowl gets a one year platinum membership to AoSHQ, with ampersand utility AND Troll-B-Gon!
