I wonder what these things were used for?

I found out what these things were, there old 1907 schrader tyre valves, as you can see there of different sizes but early dated, I metal detected them at the old fair ground.

This is me after a tuna harvest, we would catch 300 to 400 a day for the japs freezer boat, with only snorkel and fins, ie net em up inside the 40 mtr ring then go get em, the fish would be 40kg, fattened by little sausage pellets. The pic is of me after a harvest.

I worked in the tuna industry years ago diving and tuna poling, 1980s, 1990s, and salmon netting, Best catch was 180 tone of 16kg tuna, we had netted 100 tone but stuffed another 80 ton in to the 40mtr ring. But the poling days of the early 1980s were the best times.

The id was, 12.21. I can see thru detecting there where I found the coin, that the coin had not been dragged far from where it was lost, I sure have been a looking but no others there.

I noticed this on a coin, The M minted half sovereign. I have seen two the same as mine, but the other coin on the left, the hands are different. are there three types of "M" 1899 half sovereigns?.
