what do you think these capsules were originally for?

Pico Pill Capsules. that's what i think they are called.

i think they were military surplus? could be wrong. tiny and waterproof.

i got a Delrin one, which weighs nothing. and the Stainless one is much heftier. i dont do blow, so that's out.

anyone seen them in their intended use?

Geocachers love these sorts of things for hiding nanocache logbooks.

Dunno, but you might want to get that hand looked at.


I think those are mil-surp. waterproof capsules for random stuff like iodine tabs (water purification), red-dot batteries, etc.

Reminds me of something I've seen sold for pet collars...a way to keep ID and reward info dry.

Or any other kind of pill. I use them in my camping and hiking first aid kits to keep aspirin and some unused oxycodone safe and dry.

They look too small for earplugs. I'm thinking they were to carry Pryridostigmine Bromide pills in case of chemical attack.

We used to carry an Atropine injector in the olden days.

They remind me of one of these. We used to carry our anti malaria tablets in them when was in the Army.
Yours is waterproof. These are water resistant.
