And then... what about those work clothes. What color were they at the beginning of shift? They appear to be dark under the white layer. Do you suppose they wore them home so their wife could wash them?

When I come home with clothes like that, typically mud or grease, my wife makes me use the pressure washer on them before they come into the laundry room. At least I do get to take them off first
I thought that perhaps it was a part also but its shape lends itself to a tool to me and the marking/indent/protrusion on this end appears that it might match something. Perhaps some type of double ended pry bar because of the far end looking like a wedge of some type. It's the golf club end that is specialized I think.

Likely they did wear them home unfortunately. Funny about pressure washing while in them. Hate to admit it that I did that once after being in a crawl space full of water, adobe and whatever else was down there not intended for being in human contact...never again for crawl spaces or shooting oneself with High Pressure hot water. Should'a just tossed the clothes and had a streak & dunk in the pond. Doh!

When I get a few I'll try to enhance the picture a bit...perhaps some other things will appear.
