Hello everyone, I picked this solid brass canon a few weeks ago and I haven't been able to identify the maker or what kind it is yet. I am hoping someone on here can help me solve what kind of canon it is and or who made it. It weights about 4.5 pounds. The only marking's are on the legs by the...
Anyone know what this is? I have no clue! :dontknow:
I found this at an antique store for $2.00 :cool:
I bought it because it looked so strange :icon_jokercolor:
Its very heavy for its size :anchor:
Do you think it has something to do with fishing? :fish:

Hope this isn't what it looks like!
I was going through some old MD'ing finds today and ran across this old item. It appears to screw into something at one end and the other looks like the back of a center fire cartridge. Embossed on the shaft is either 40 sec. or 40 s & c. It looks to me...
I would love to hear your thoughts on how old these are, where they might have been made, their style
They're all a little over 7" in length, weigh around 1.5 oz each and have very nice details
the only markings I can find is a (13) stamped on the knife's blade
thanks!!!
Hello, I found this bottle at a yard sale a few days ago. Its 11 & 1/4 inches tall and is very heavy. i cannot find a makers mark anywhere on it. I'm not sure if the top would have had some type of cover or if could even be a vase? :dontknow:I have never seen anything like it before and was...
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows what this object is? It seems to have some sort of trademark on it and made of clay or something. Not sure what way the symbol is meant to be. Thanks in advance.
Hey guys I'm new here but i think this is the only community that can help. I have 500 Spanish Reale recovered in the 1980's. I have narrowed it down that the shipwreck had to be from 1689 to 1860. The person who discovered the coins died later that year, so we cant get any information from him...
I picked this bracelet up at Goodwill for $3. I thought it looked expensive as it is, but then I saw it was marked 14k JMC. It's not magnetic and doesn't seem to be plated; if it is white gold with diamonds it might be worth something, but how much? And what does JMC mean? Can anyone here help me?
So, new to the forum as far as posting. Curious if anyone has an idea on this. Found these figures (6-8 inches tall or so) and other related pieces in a tight area at low tide on a beach in San Diego over the weekend. Mostly under sand but no deeper than a few inches. They seems to be lead...
Hey guys, I found this today while metal detecting with my AT Garret Pro in a field next to a farm and it was hitting around "84" and "32". It was also around 12 inches deep. I think it may be some sort of farm tool or maybe something obvious but i have yet to discover what it actually is. I...
Hello everyone,
I found this item on the beach, near the Pacific. I believe I found 2 of these, but I can only find one at the moment. It registers as metallic, of course. Any thoughts in what it might be?
This coin was picked up at a garage sale for 25 cents. Its in very poor condition, but still has identifying marks. I have no idea what it is. How about you guys?
I have a standing Liberty quarter that appears to be lead. It's dated 1929 and weighs 7 grams. It's a dull gray color and makes a thunk sound when dropped on a wood table. My aunt bought it from her son who then gave it to me with several authentic standing liberty quarters and barber coins...
Found this strange object on the Yorkshire dales. It's made from what I think is aluminium, have no idea what it could be. Possibly something that's fallen off farm machinery, or something more interesting?? It's clearly been there a long time due to the corrosion,
Any help greatly appreciated
I was doing some research on old home sites in the area and found that one of the sites was currently a vacant lot. I contacted the owner and got permission to go onto his property and, while walking through, I found this thing. It looked like some vagrants used the property recently. (In the...
Can anyone help me ID this. I found it about 6 inches beneath the soil in a local park. There was a railway until at least 1973, no aerial maps for the railway or its bridge after that.
There is a circled letter or number then the digits 81147, Its a unique shape and made of iron with a concave...

Could someone please help me to identify this?
Thanks,
Can anyone help me identify this button? I haven't been able to find any information about it anywhere. I've seen some with a similar eagle but the backmark is the thing stumping me. The backmark is United States MFG Co. It also has a ring of dots below the name. I believe it's from the Indian...
