Ancient artifacts? Memories of better times thrown away? Someone's lost weave?

Police are hoping the public can help solve a rather odd mystery that an angler pulled out of Clear Lake on Monday.

The fisher felt a tug on what turned out to be a plastic bag filled with seemingly unrelated items – fake hair, bricks and three small plaques.

When he pulled the bag ashore, he thought the bag contained human hair and called the Harris County Sheriff's Office to investigate.

But when authorities arrived, they became just as stumped as the angler.

It wasn't human hair after all, and police are now left with trying to determine what exactly the man discovered.

You be the judge – what are the contents, and are they related?
