what is it

I found approximately 15 of these iron artifacts at a colonial house site that goes back to the early 1700s. Not sure exactly how old they are, or what they are... They all are about 2.5" tall, .5 inch thick, with a small notch at the bottom. Does anyone have any insight? Thank you in advance!

Happy holidays everybody! Last Saturday I went metal detecting at a house site out in the middle of a field. The house is shown on 1873 and 1883 maps of the area. The house was shown on a 1933 aerial map too. I was metal detecting for about 2 hours and came home with some fascinating finds...

Any ideas or input on my find

All I did was wash them so far. Just wondering what they are && I don't have a magnet or anything else with me to test them. The one on top has what looks like metal Bob's on the top. And green inside. And the middle one had a thin crust and is heavy. And the bottom is blue/green inside. Thanks...

A friend found this the other day and we have know Idea what it is , we could use some help thanks, Jeff

So unless it worked the first 4 times I tried, this is my first post on here. I’m not good with geology, but I’ve found a lot of Native American artifacts. These two were found in close proximity. You may not can tell, but the rock in the first four pics has been flaked (given the high impact...

??? HELP ID THIS RELIC FIND ??? Was out today relic hunting a farm field in Virginia. Colonial, revolutionary war, and civil war artifacts/relics are possible in this area. You know the story, I was about to pack it in and reluctantly come home empty (save a few modern bullets and big iron)...

I was detecting an old 1870s farm site and found this strange looking tool. Not sure what it could have been used for. It looks like it has some paint on the end of it. It had a slight spoon shape in one side and is formed to a slight peak on the back. I have found all sorts of iron in the...

Found this at the low tide line yesterday on beach in St. Augustine area. Is it old because of the shells stuck on it? Generally how long does something need to be in the water for this to happen? And, if old, why hasn't it corroded away (if it were iron)? I scraped and edge to show the metal...

I was out metal detecting and i definitely wasn't expecting to find this. It appears to be some sort of hunting trap. I have no idea how it would trap an animal though. It is secured to a stake by a chain that goes super deep into the ground. I am having a very hard time digging it up. Below are...

I found this thing on my way home from work. I really don't know if it's a genuine arrowhead or if it's just a stone? What do you guys think? I found this in sealand, Denmark. The widest part is 2 cm, and the longest part is about 4 cm. The two first pictures are taken from the front and the...

Hey guys! Recently I was metal detecting near an old mill location. I discovered my first horseshoe... And this. I am assuming this is a button, can anyone help with the age? The material is copper. [/ATTACH] Cheers!

Hi! I found this in San Francisco. I was curious what it is and if it is work anything. It is about 4" x 4" and the material feels like ceramic. Thank you in advance for the help!

I recently was metal detecting the banks of a creek near Deadwood SD, an area known for gold, when my detector found four rocks that all registered as metal they read out as 40 to 45 on the target scale and a 0 on the ground phase. The rocks are silverish in color and metallic kinda like schist...

petrified wood find I'm pretty sure Found this Saturday, put down the ATPRO and walked the creek for awhile. Found this: heavy as heck and dense. Clean breaks on both ends. Hard as heck. Grainy like wood. Would do u guys think?

I found this a while back but have never been able to identify it. I think it is a coin? Best i can make out it looks like 1663 with a crown on the front and the Roman numeral II on the back with the word Authority. Anybody have a clue??

I found this interesting stone near the Sierra Ancha Wilderness in Arizona and would appreciate any help in identifying what it could be. In case ya'll didn't know, the Sierra Anchas are home to a ton of Indian ruins and although this wasn't found at any particular site, I had initially thought...

Hey y'all, Maybe I should have posted in 'What is it?' rather than coins, because I have no idea if this is even a coin, though I figured if it is a coin you'd be the guys to ask. But anyway, found this in Southern Ontario, 10 inches down around a baseball diamond that used to be farmed at...
