Beach find from years ago. Detector picked up the brass fitting inserted into the base which I believe is a crude modern day attempt at a repair. None of my finds over the past 20 years has intrigued me as much.

Embossed " W. BROOKFIELD 45 CLIFF ST. N.Y. on one side.
On the other it reads JAN. 25TH 1870
This is a real early one. The only problem I have with these is figuring out the color.
Any ideas ?

I was dumping my change in the coinstar machine the other day. When I was finished I reached in to grab the change that the machine did not accept and this was mixed in with it.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

My summer project (day 3) now we're talking!!!
Today i went into the woods behind my house in Tewksbury Ma.
Making my way around the swamp and through the thickets I came across a rusted out car.
Don't know exactly what make but I will say it looks like the parts of a Bonnie and Clyde car. I...
I got this on Revere beach on saturday. At first I thought it was a latch to a porthole but then noticed the neck of it was bent and the chisel end was blunt as if it were used for some type of engraving. It measures an inch in width.
Has anyone ever seen something of this size? The land that it is on is protected. You can see the size of it by comparing it to the apartment complex to the left. Railroad tracks run right beside it and its right behind my house.
