copper

The location is now a church with a soccer field. The tot lot was small and had a fence around it so I only had like 5 square feet that i could detect. This was about 3in down found with garret at pro. I don’t know much of anything about this and am assuming its early 1800s so if you know...

I've been at this hobby for 15 years (took a good 8-10 year break in my 20's) but since 2020 I've been out most weekends. I've found so many 1800s homesites and foundations lost to time and memory in the woods of PA and NJ. and I've found amazing relics, half cents, IHP, you name it, but I've...

Found this strangely shaped item in a harvested bean field in west central Indiana near an old home site dating to around 1830s. It registered about a 55-60 on my Garrett AT max and based on the look of it I'd say it's copper alloy (brass usually rings up around 77) but I'm not sure why it's not...

Another odd find at the old homestead - went out with my girls metal detecting and one of them dug this. It looks like it is all copper - reminds me of a steam let off for a boiler but I really don't have any idea. The folded accordian part is about 5 1/2" long and 2" diameter. Seems like...

Found yesterday in Civil War era site in KS. The cylinder appears to be Copper or brass, about the size of a small tea plate. About 1 lb or so. Heavier and more rigid than you’d think. The handle reminds me of a pipe end and you can see the hole that goes through. Also metal. Some care...

A 1oz copper Bitcoin bullion round I found in the sand.

Found another scattering of 1oz copper bullion coins in the surf, and one was a bitcoin! Easiest $20,000 I ever made. 🤣 Also, yes, I know it's not actually worth $20,000, it's just a piece of copper :D

Found these scattered all over the place today. Ended up with eight in total. No silver or gold ones unfortunately. Who collects copper rounds? The markup in comparison to the actual metal weight is outrageous! People pay $5-$10 for 35 cents worth of metal!? I don't get it. Wish who ever...

Can someone date this button I found? I seen similar police buttons but they had a wreath around the P. Thinking civil war Era, maybe a little later. Any info from the button connoisseurs is appreciated.

Found in old farmland in Northwest Georgia. About 4?x3.5?. Two separate pieces found about 30 feet apart. Fairly heavy?some kind of steel with what appears to be some copper in it? Could that be a bullet penetration hole? It doesn't look massed produced and likely hand forged I would think...

Hey guys, so my buddy and I just picked up this giant hunk of raw copper. It weighs around 30 lbs and it's super cool looking, unlike anything I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the previous owner didn't have much of a backstory on it though. All I know is it's from the US. In my research I've found...

Well, the last one died shortly after birth, so here we make a new baby. 40 years ago I had a great time in the Bahamas. A lot has happened since then. Probably I would not recognize the old places if I visited today. Some places might have changed less than others, like Great Isaak Key. When...

Pulled this 2 piece button out, thought it was a coin at first. The front of the button immediately separated and fell to the ground where it broke in half. You can barely touch it without it disintegrating, bummer. Any help with ID would be appreciated. Amazed to see the thread is still...

REVERSE OBVERSE I found this today, and I’m showing the reverse side first, because that’s where I can see the “RICA” at about 4:00-5:00 and hints at the wreath. The obverse has nothing to show. It’s been holed, And there’s rust coming through. The corrosion is topical and rusty, so I wonder...

While checking out a possible homesteading site we weren't finding much. Best relic was a copper oil lantern lid/wick adjuster jobby. Rest was junk from back country parties and fisherfolk. So, disheartened, I was kickin stones on the way back to the car when I spotted that unmistakable...

Found this pin while metal detecting in a yard with early 1900s artifacts. Lots of Norwegians and Swedes up here in these parts, but I can’t match the shape to anything there, even counties. Any idea of what nation this might be? Perhaps even a specific country or island in Scandinavia?

I found these for coin-like objects in an area where an old house stood. It was maybe 30 feet off of a railroad tracks. The house has been gone for 20 years. The house has been built around 1906. Very nasty, buggy area. There’s not much traffic at all. I found them in four different locations...

Hi everyone, I found what seems to be a toasted old copper coin while metal detecting on a local Chesapeake bay beach here on the Eastern Shore of MD. The most I can make of it are some lines and what seems to be an "EOR' word fragment; this thing is worn down to a disc. In addition to pictures...

Found an old farm which last existed around 1980. It is remarkably thin and brittle. It looks like it’s made of copper or brass. Very interested in what any of you experts out there think what this thing specifically is.

Good morning, my friends from the Forum please can someone help me with this research.
