tool

A friend of mine was tearing down the back rock wall of an early 1800's barn to use the stones for another project. About midway down the wall he found this obect in the dirt, either within or behind the rock wall. The object has clearly defined notches, grooves, etc. which are probably not...

Hello. I found this large stone artifact while hiking this weekend, I thought it looked like an old weapon head or tool. It has hole indents on the top and bottom. Just looking for some information on what it could actually be, thank you.

Hi All, I found this while snorkeling at the North-West coast of Sardinia, at around 5m depth, some 100-150m off the shore. Cleaned it a bit, but didn't attempt any further as not to damage it. If you have any ideas what it could be or how I could clean it further let me know please. Here's a...

Went on a walk around my private woods and found this interesting rock (interesting to me at least). I was wondering if any of you had an opinion on it being used as a fire starter of sorts or if it’s just a dumb rock. Thank you all for any suggestions!

I found this on a 1 square mile site along with some other points that I have posted in other threads. I think it's a perfect example of a questionable artifact. This rock type is not found on this site naturally. I almost tossed it back on the ground, but i now think it is an artifact...

Hi there, I'm wondering if someone could help with a couple things. I was searching for petrified wood just south of Ellensburg, WA and ended up finding quite a bit. When I went home and washed it all, I realized a few pieces were some sort of stone tool. I'm just wondering if anyone knows the...

What do you think this could be??? A dagger??? It was found in a park.

Hello everybody. I just found out about this forum and it's like a dream come true. I just spent a a couple hours browsing and thought I'd post some items I've found. I'm a long time collector but am relatively new to searching for treasures in the woods and riverbeds. Here's an album with...

I found this at a house built in 1820. It has a rusted iron/steel part, some other non-metallic metal parts, and the whitish outside material looks like bone. It doesn't look or feel like wood. And the narrow rusted iron "blade" is pivots about it's middle, not its end, as it would for a pocket...

Hi everyone. I found this detecting at a house in MA that was build in about 1740. I haven't found much else very old there. The pictures show the scale in inches. It's non-metallic and not very dense, so brass or bronze. It has a sharp hook on the end. I found things with similar shape online...

I was detecting an old 1870s farm site and found this strange looking tool. Not sure what it could have been used for. It looks like it has some paint on the end of it. It had a slight spoon shape in one side and is formed to a slight peak on the back. I have found all sorts of iron in the...

Can anyone help ID or date this axe? I'll be using electrolysis to remove the rust when I move in January, but until then it sits like this. It was found in Zaleski, Ohio. Any help is appreciated :)

I found this in my back yard on the Eastern End of Long Island in NY. Can anyone tell me what it might be?
