Recently I have been getting into some Revolutionary War artifacts and one of these pieces is still stumping! Can anyone help me with this British Crown motif that I found recently. All of the other artifacts all date to the Rev War (and I have found almost 0 trash) so it is definitely from that...

Hey TNET, So recently I went digging at a site occupied dating all the way back to the Revolutionary War. I found this piece several inches in the ground and immediately knew what I had. The back has the hooked attachment for the buckle. The only problem with this piece is that it looks to have...

Found this relic hunting today on land that has been in my family since early 1800s. I can't find anything on-line like it and was just wondering what war it was from? Year? Value? It's in GREAT condition. It's brass, slightly larger than a quarter, has "Made in England" on the back and has...

These candlesticks have been in my family for generations, but have no clue how many??? They are solid brass, and the base is shaped into a drip pan. They are made from 2 parts, stem and base, and screw into one another. Both pieces seem solid and heavy. There is no stamp or engraving on them...

I dug this over the holidays in central Florida, it closely resembles the type in the drawing of fraim locks (Which I obtained here at TN thanks!), but this brass padlock has a crucible device within a circle in the quadrants....any help appreciated....b

Here is a resent find, It is brass, 5ins long, hand made with a very sharp point and would have had a wooden handle. the pointed end is round and 31/4 ins long. Any ideas? Dave.

Hi All - First time post ; ) We've picked up two of these in different locations here in New Hampshire (about 5 miles apart). Both sites could have artifacts from the early 1700's to early 20th century. Not sure what this is - we were thinking a 'button' perhaps affixed with a large not? Or...

Need help identifying Kerosene Lamp? that's been converted/electrified Hello, I recently started looking into collecting antique and vintage lamps, a subject I know nothing about yet, so any info will be much appreciated! I got two of these lamps yesterday, they appear to be old kerosene lamps...

Hi folks - I just found this site, and am already enjoying it very much. My father was a "picker" and amassed a lot of interesting things, so I have a few items I could use help with, and I am also happy to help out if I can. This "button" appears to be filled with lead or solder on the...
