identification

I found this the other day while looking in a pile of rock. The reddish inclusions with White banding look like this might be a Moss Agate but I am unsure. There is a section that is clearly quartz with a light purple tint to it but I am wondering what the rest of the body is. Any help would be...

Greetings, I found this button in Sicily. I can't seem to identify its origins, can anybody identify it? Or connect any of the symbols to foreign powers/entities? I believe it's WWII era. Thanks in advance!

I think it looks like a claw or tooth. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone: I came across these two rocks at a gem and crystal shop, but unfortunately didn't catch their name. Despite their unique shape, i'm having quite a hard time identifying them. I've tried searching online but to no avail. Has anyone seen anything like these before? I know that...

I've just gone through over 1000 patterns on a website and have done google searches too countless to mention. The closest match I've found is hobstar but that's not it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I found this nail today off of a hiking trail that I've found many late 1800s items around. I've looked over several online nail identification resources but haven't seemed to have been able to find a diagram/picture of one specifically like this. Help from someone more knowledgeable would be...

Over the years I've dug up many different fragments of dishes and pottery from a long-gone farmhouse. I've identified much of it as Blue Willow dishware, a 1915 Limoges calendar plate and purple transferware by Wooliscroft (Eon pattern), but there are still many fragments that I have not been...

I collected these two artifacts while I was traveling and I'm struggling with identifying them. I believe they are both egyptian in origin from their design (namely the bird shapes being reminiscent of something you'd find close to the edge of the Nile. Both are made from an alloy of bronze and...

Found this axe head while in my garden. Can anyone tell approx age by looking at these photos? Or if you are unsure, maybe you can direct me to a resource where I can get an ID. Thanks for your help. Gina

Hi folks, this is my first post (and its from my phone) so apologies if it doesn't work. I found this rock in a piece of shale the other day and was wondering if anyone knows what it is. It is quite heavy for its size, it weighs 500 grams. Any info would be great thanks in advance.

Found this in central Louisiana on my parents land and I'm not entirely sure what it is. I thought it might be a token or a flat button?

My husband found this several years ago in Kansas City, Missouri. He had a friend take it to someone they knew and that person deemed this a natural formation. Any opinions to the contrary here? Thanks in advance, LJP

Hello everyone, I picked this painting up at a local second hand store in my home town of Spokane, Washington. I believe the signature says "H. Bongartz". The Canvas is hand made and very brittle on the sides of it's H-frame stretcher. This massive piece measures approx. 24"H x 36"W before...

Hi everyone! I am not a collector – I would just like some help with an identification. My father-in-law is from the UK and has a sword that has been passed down from his grandfather who fought in Germany circa WW1. We are not interested in selling it, and are more interested in its origin...

I dug this key and it appears to say 'BLCo' but I could be wrong. Any idea of the age? I found it on an old WW2 airfield in the middle of no where, no buildings for at least 10 miles and people have been in that area since the 1880's or so. Thank you.

Good Afternoon to all! I'm knew to prospecting/rockhounding and need some help with identification. I have an area that I started digging recently because it was sinking in and a crack on the surface of the ground started to form. I continued to dig because I came across soil that was not the...

We own a 200+ year old farm house that was once part of the underground railroad in PA. We always find bottles, marbles, old stuff, pottery pieces, and metal whenever we dig. We recently had a pool put in and found TONS of stuff, however, we found a coin/metal/medallion of some type which we...

Ok I finally took some better pic's of this puzzle

I got these two arrowheads when I was younger and I am trying to sell them. Does anyone know if they are authentic or reproductions? If they are authentic do you have any information on them? (Age, region, tribe?)
