Found a metal bent tent peg of short length while bushwalking. It would not bend straight by hand as aluminium pegs do.
After sitting on a shelf for a few years - just now, I tried hammering it straight.
It snapped cleanly after 4 or so hammer blows.
Gold coloured outside, square profile. Snapped ends are a dull silver, and are granular in appearance.
The now-broken peg is heavier than an any aluminium peg I have, yet lighter than any steel peg
- so I assumed on finding it that it was titanium; but if titanium (or otherwise); why did it snap?
