Hello, I found this nearly perfect sphere in Virginia on high ground off the James River where I’ve found numerous Native American artifacts. The white arrowhead in the photo was found the same day just 10 yards away. The sphere is very heavy/dense for its size, which leads me to believe it...

Hello, if you're reading this you might be able to help me, and for even trying I thank you. This story started around 20 years ago when I was still a boy.

Hey all. A friend of mine found this badge a few years back in a nearby woods in MA. I'm pretty stumped as to its age and am also not sure if its military or civilian ??? It looks to be made of silver plated copper. I'm thinking it could be some sort of neckerchief slide but it looks a tad bit...

Found this in a river near Civil War activity. May be just junk. Looks like the base ring compresses and slides into something. Thanks for your help in advance! (This is my First time posting to TN.) Alex S;

I dug this massive cast iron something-another about 8-10" deep near a 19th Century home site that I routinely find 1840's-early 1900s iron. This looks more modern, but it was down deep and under roots, so I don't know. Looks like it might be a die/cast of some sort or something machined? My...

Dug this trigger in Virginia in an area where I dug 3 case-shot balls and a civil war bullet. Can anyone ID it? Trigger is small (clad quarter for size perspective), so definitely small arms. Posted 2 pics, one for each side of the trigger. Not sure, could also be from a toy gun. Not a small...

When this item sounded off on my Infinium LS, it nearly blew my headphones off! Was about 16" deep in 3' of salt water. One of the most unusual "What's It's" I've ever found. It measures 8-1/2"L x 2-1/8"W x 1"T at the widest point. It's also slightly curved over its length. Any ideas? Thanks...
