does anyone know what the metal object in the picture might represent?

It was found in the Swiss Alps. It is quite heavy, maybe 500g.

why do metal poles for directional signs "buzz" when snowing up in the mountains?

We were at altitude 2674m on a mountain ridge when we noticed that the pole with indication signs for the trails was vibrating. The same was with the digital camera and the hiking poles. We understood that there was electricity in the air. However, the happening was strange because though the sky was covered, it was snowing, and not heavily. Besides, there were no lightnings, but we could hear from time to time thunders. I was wondering if there was any chance of being struck and also, if possessing metal objects might increase the chances.

Why are the surfaces of metal and tiles in the house not at room temperature at any time of day?

Surely if they are good conductors then they will absorb the heat easily, just as they do when you place your hand onto the surface?
