military

Got out for a short hunt yesterday on the farm near my house. Dug a great sounding signal on the legend, and this popped out. I believe it is military, but not sure. The legend on the top says "First In Last Out." It was made by N.S. Meyer Inc. in New York City. Meyer Inc. was famous for making...

Found these on the same old lot. Not too old, but had to imagine they came from the same soldier. Always cool to find old buttons.

I've dug what I believe is a solid brass watch fob. The only info I've found is that the uniforms seem to match the Navy Sailors during the 1898 Spanish-American War. It cleaned up super well. Is it a military service item or just a commemorative piece? Any background about it will be...

94th Artillery insignia, my first good find with the Equinox 900. Ever seen one like it?

Here are photos of the front and back of the buttons, text on front of first button (IMG_3251.jpeg)reads "Excelsior" along the bottom and has 13 stars along the top. The backside (IMG_3253.jpefg) reads " SCOVILLE MFG CO WATERBURY" along the top and "State of New York" along the bottom. The front...

Found this military buckle on the bank of a waterway in central Idaho. Can you tell me anything about it? I found the following article referencing a similar buckle. https://www.nps.gov/klgo/learn/historyculture/company-l-artifacts.htm

Found this awesome button, 1812 Royal Marines officer button.

I have an opportunity to buy this piece, the seller is describing it simply as a Military Cartridge Box. I'm hoping the experts here might be able to tell me where this piece originated and the age. I have no details on the dimensions or what the interior looks like other then the pics you see...

We found an old whistle with a bullet, not sure what kind or how old it could be. Can anyone help identify this? Perhaps vintage Roman military?

Hi, I’m new to the Forum. I own a piece of property formally owned by Theodore Roosevelt. A friend of mine gave me a metal detector and I’ve been finding so many exciting things. Saw blades, shotgun shells, military rounds, 45/90’s Krags. Any advice on what else to look for? Thanks!

Found this in a friend’s grandma’s yard. They have veteran family, but couldn’t think of any disabled Vets. Any clues as to what this may have been a part of, so I could steer them in the right direction? No identifying marks, but maybe an old zipper? Keychain? Something else?

Greetings friends. I found this big ol chunk of brass (solid) while digging behind a real old plantation house in Athens Ga. It has ridges along the inside of the curve, and looks to have once been parabolic, but has seen better days. Solid brass makes me think military or surveying instrument...

Found these buttons in old seweing machine drawer. Any ideas as to age and kind? Are any of them military related? Thanks for any help.

I have no idea on this one. I have heard both. I am running in a electrolysis tank right now. It was found at a site with items from the mid 1700s up to 1950s until they let the woods grow where a home site existed. It is within view of water but no military action from what I understand. I have...

Any idea of what model and era this jeep is. Thanks yall.

My uncle found two helmets a few years ago and ever since, my family has been debating on the origin and value of them. I'm under the impression that the helmets are from two separate places, found by a collector. Please help us!

I have been able to find this book and author but can't find any examples of his signature. Do you think this book is signed by the author or is it just Bill White? Your help is always appreciated.

Hi, My husband and I found this item on a beach in Newport, RI a few years ago. Our best guess is some kind of a belt buckle, but we aren't sure. Would love to know more if anyone has any info. Thanks in advance!
