Default Where does this go???

Was in the 70's today so I went for a nice long (260 miles) ride today. When I got home, I was putting the bike in the shed and I saw something shiny on the ground. So I went to pick it up and lo and behold it was a nice shiny hex bolt that came from my nice shiny new Harley. Now I have to find where it came from and how many more are scattered over 260 miles of MD WV and VA. I've attached a photo in case anyone can guess where it might have come from

If you were my neighbor, it likely would have came outta my parts pile....I have a buddy that we drive nuts by leaving a bolt or nut in his driveway or by pouring a smidge of oil under one of his vehicles....LOL.
