I know they are some sort of nail, but I had one in my tire and at the store found a near identical one and now I'm beginning to think my tire guy is playing shell games. I mean, what are the odds?

Could easily have been stuck in the tire and then ground down on the road.

But the second one wasn't found in a tire. Someone probably cut off a bunch in the same place.
