Where do these pointy things come from?

How often do you all get flats? I generally ride with Schwalbe or Gatorskins, but they to are not immune. First flat of the year yesterday, the culprit is that small wire in the pic (the bigger nail put a stop to one of my rides last year). About 8 of my flats last year were from similar small wires. Where do these come from and how do they always make it into my tires!!? Anyone else experience these little pesky problem makers?



I am ready to rig a roofing cleanup magnet to my bike to perform regular passes along my route...
