"Large Metal Sphere with Multiple Small Antenna on US Military Site"
A: "It is a radome."
"About two feet in height, holes go through and to the base, made of clay I think."
A: "Looks like a chimney pot (top of chimney). Probably removed when demolishing a house or upgrading the fireplace. If they’re attached to something underground that might be on top of a vent."

"What are these? Small 2cm long, they screw open. Old celluloid or Bakelite? Acorns?"

"What are these concrete “balconies” with little doors on them?"

"What kind of spoon is this? It’s made out of silver and the bowl is roughly 6.5cm in diameter. The handle is 13cm in length. Additionally is it possible to identify the hallmark?"
A: "These were used in days gone by when most silverware had a narrowly defined purpose. Berries, stewed fruits and fruit preserves would be served using these stubby-handled, wide-bowled compote servers. Going by the lovely turned edge on your spoon, I would venture that it was intended to serve berries. The curled edge helped prevent damaging the berries as they were served, so that they presented more attractively on the dish before the diner. What a nice example you have!"

"Two spoons attached to a wooden handle at the thrift store?"

"Four piece set found among other items meant for entertaining from home. Probably from around the 1930’s."

"Bumpy metal tube bolted to a wooden board (found in an old barn)"
A: "It’s a cheese grater! Probably homemade."
"Ceramic tajine pot-shaped grinder, possibly Moroccan"

A: "It’s for irrigation systems!"
truck bed tool box?
Here we go again... Idiots at their finest. First mentioning of the instrument dated 1295 by the Julian calendar introduced by the Peter the Great in 1699. Please go on and continue with the story of mass production of the machine screws and nuts in XIII century Canada... France as we know it was established in 1453, so please humor me, I am all ears. Generation of semieducated imbeciles.
You can hear someone playing the spoons in the solo of the Soundgarden song.
