Probably fell out the back of a truck or someone threw it from a car or another house...
But in this case Occam's razor would dictate it probably fell of a UFO and you will be visited by the notorious MIB...

thats probably part of a home stereo receiver.
most likely left on the OP's porch bty a tweaker stealing butts from his ashtray. tweakers love copper, and love stealing half smoked cigs.

Scrapping is quite common around here actually. Not in this particular neighborhood. Although I have heard instances of tweakers/crack spiders acquiring vehicles to go on scrapping sprees.

when i look down into the guts of my old panasonic home stereo system receiver, i can see 4-5 little fuckers that look just like that thing, standing on end in various spots, ranging from the size of a Certs breath mint to the size of a 2-liter bottle cap.
im pretty confident it came from some home electronic device from the 80's or 90's.

I do believe this feller is correct. Its an electromagnet for some sort of sound device would be my guess.

A simple answer would be a solenoid

a simple answer (as usual) would be incorrect.
this is a solenoid:
and it makes magentic feilds, often as part of a switch or whatnot. your car's starting system has 2 of them usually, one as a remote switch so you dont have potentially lethal voltage running through your ignition switch, and another on your starter motor to egage the flywheel and make your engine turn. though some starters use cetrifugal force to engage the starter drive gear with the flywheel.
