Hi everyone, thanks for figuring out this last shipwreck! I have one more, sent to me from a friend. Are you all up for the challenge? Here are the coords: 21.04254° S, 178.85659° W. Thanks.

Hey Everyone, Last fall, I was prospecting in Clear Creek Canyon along US 6 And found something interesting. I was working an old dried up gravel bench where the river used to flow, and several feet down behind a large boulder, I spotted this bizarre "notched" rock in the hole. I cannot...

Found at a site where I have found old stuff before. Its been occupied since. not sure what this is. Also found a button and new quarter

Found a few months ago in Central Scotland, I'm taking this a specialist rock shop in Glasgow on Saturday and if they can't give me much information on it then I will be going home to cut into it and find out what's inside, any help is appreciated

We found this cannon in a river and we hope to identify it, is it civil war era or napoleonic? Was it in a battle or on a merchant ship, as yet there are no markings but im waiting for the FLO to get in touch so i dont want to clean it too much, any help will be appreciated

Heavy brass approximately 4 inches in length. Located at property with mostly 1860-1940 history. Thanks for looking.

Roughly the size for a heel cup or around the front of a horse shoe. Has two holes, one on either end and is complete minus bent bent down on the ends. It has been compressed inward slightly. Located around Civil War era relics and is heavy brass. Any ideas?

I found it about 10 inches deep next to an old square head nail. Any ideas? It was VDI 23 on Vanquish 440.

Found this today near an old well near VA line in NC. Missing the makers mark of the two-piece. Appears to be 1800s naval button, but not finding many exactly like it. Found one repro that said it was 1820-1830s naval button. Any ideas?

My mother found this thing (maybe a brooch) on south Topsail beach. She found it as if it had just washed up, it appears to be very old and worn. The ruby in the center is very large, 10 carats at least if I had to guess. Between the holes in it there are flowers, floral design, I can upload...

Found this cleaning out my grandparents house. Seems to be Bangor Punta branded with a Smith & Wesson logo. It has my great grandfather's name on it but I have no clue what it is. I've searched everywhere with no luck. I'm not looking to sell it but does anyone happen to know what it is and it's...

I recently acquired 10-15 pieces of what I was told is Medieval jewelry. Some of it I can guess what it is. I have no clue what this piece is. Has anyone ever seen anything like what’s in the photo?

A few months ago while hiking in the mountains near our house in eastern Ky I came across a strange piece of rock,metal,ore? When I smelted this strange rock down the silver began to pour out like you were squeezing a sponge. I was a big sad to hear the guy testing it at jewelry store say he...

I've had this for years but I have no idea what it is. Help?

A friend found this ring in their garden the other day, searched the interned for days in order to find analogies, but nothing turned up. Even asked some friends who have more experience with such kind of finds: one of them said that it could be bronze age/Roman, the other said that it's from...

Alright first I would like to say thank you for allowing me into this group as a new member, this is why I am here. I purchased this on EBay as a meteorite here is the problem. Several meteorite groups on Facebook with trained eyes have said this is not a meteorite it has no fusion crust how bla...

Last week I came across a thin foil like metallic sheet that is about the color of tin foil but has a violet tint/ overtone to it. This sheet will also flex itself back to its original shape when folded or crumpled. If anyone could give me more information on how to proceed with an appraisal or...

Dug this up about a foot under the sand on a South Florida intracoastal park that's been around since the 1950's. It was hitting on mid range very steady. I'd appreciate any feedback!:icon_thumright:

I found this in a SE Florida intracoastal park that has been around since the 1960's. I also found multiple coins from the 60's-90's. I'm not sure of the metal type. It's roughly 1"x 5" and appears to have the numbers 6 5 marked on it and possibly faces. Any input would be appreciated!

Hi all, Did a bit of detecting today. Found a couple of small silver buttons (duplicates of ones we already have), a neat old padlock (not too exciting--iron), and this unidentified coin. Okay, so I know some folks say not to clean them, but...there were NO marks at all visible, no silhouette...

I need help identifying these stones. They have a somewhat waxy luster and are translucent when held to the light. They do not scratch with quartz. The longer one I believe is agatized wood. There is distinct banding when wet, but the smaller pieces have no banding whatsoever. The larger nodual...

My dad has this older coin and we've tried to see what it says and stuff but it's kind of hard to read. I can't get any good pictures of it but I'll describe what I see: Tails side: A 5 in the middle of a compass looking design of 1936 and below what I can make out is "vos" as the last 3...

Hi.Can anyone tell me what this is?Both items were found in the same hole in a field beside an old cottage in Ireland.

Hi,can anyone I'D this for me,it is like a hammered coin(about 3/4 of a foot deep),but it has a kind of stumpy thing on the back.What is it?
