I know they are some sort of nail, but I had one in my tire and at the store found a near identical one and now I’m beginning to think my tire guy is playing shell games. I mean, what are the odds?

My vote is self-tapping sheet metal screw that had the end cut off because it was sticking too far into whatever it was screwed into.
Only the part of the screw that touches the two (or more) pieces of sheet metal actual does anything.
Person should have used a rivet.
Could easily have been stuck in the tire and then ground down on the road.
But the second one wasn’t found in a tire. Someone probably cut off a bunch in the same place.
