Oil seed rape seeds? Or shotgun pellets?

I’ve seen these droppings before.  I think that’s what they are.  I moved a large item that was about 1/2” off the ground and found a neat pile of these.  I’ve seen ‘em before too.  They are just under 1/8” diameter and very uniform.  
 

anyone got a crappy idea as to who I’m dealing with?  We have mice at random living in the middle of a field, I’m seen just a couple rats, but these droppings are surely not theirs.


I searched and found that termites leave uniform 6 sided droppings of varying wood colors, but these are smooth and I don’t see any skid damage or flying insects.

I would guess morning glory seeds that either got stashed or wind blown into it. We find them blown into all kinds of hidey holes. Mice stash them too. They try to get them before the birds do. We don't call this place Morning Glory hill for nothing.

I don’t reload yet… I’ve planted rape in my food plots but haven’t ever kept any.

Looking at the swirl marks in the dust around them, I'm thinking of a snake.  They would easily fit into that 1/2" space.

they were actually in a “clean pile” on the floor.  I began to sweep them up, then took a picture.  I forgot to mention that.

Have you 'dissected' one yet?  You might find that cutting it in half clearly shows that it's a seed... or not...

I would be much more concerned about what critter pooped this out!

Anything that can poop that is not to be reckoned with !

(at least not without the proper PPE!)

They are in the tee-rash can now.  If I find more, I’ll be sure to.

I honestly clicked on this link expecting to see a pile of Legos... :lol:

 

...because I've found them to be highly annoying, and indestructible. Certainly stronger than the heavily callused 52 year old bottoms of my feet!

Well.  I’m pretty convinced this is from a critter.  Found ‘em again, up an entire exhaust system right behind the catalytic converter.  Couldn’t have been dropped by a plant…

 

ok, they might have been transported though.  :confusion-confused:

 

 1/2” copper coupling for size reference.

I’m going with @Pullstart Stables’ very own “micro corn hole game.” The 1/2” copper pipe is the hole and good ole mouse poop 💩 is the corn… I can see they aren’t very good at hitting the hole…

Speekin' of half...  have you cut one open by chance?  I still think they're a seed stash.
