Clarification on the term "relic"

What exactly is a relic?

Well, let's look at some different dictionary definitions.

1. "An antiquity that has survived from the distant past"

2. " A keepsake: Something of sentimental value."

3. "An object, interesting because of it's age and/or value."

4. Something found that has survived from the past."

In light of this then, a relic could be anything, made of anything, found anywhere. Right?

I would like to think of myself as number 2 and 3. Pero, talvez Maria crees mi numero uno y quatro. In some places, anything found below the surface of the ground automatically belongs to the state. I have a lot of surface finds.

Yeah, If being over 50 qualifies as a relic.....I are one too.

Now that you gave a good discription of me, throw me back on the heep.

No, it was identified. The company that made them was in business from the 1820's to the 1950's.

Fascinating. Was it of cast or wrought manufacture? Is it possible you could post a picture of the artifact in question?

It's possible I DID. If you guys don't know anything about it, how is it you can make such judgments?

This is a weird forum. I harmlessly mention a shaker hammer in another thread and it gets deleted. Now here we see a discussion about a shaker hammer and it's allowed.
Very weird.

I think the difference is making fun of other people's finds. That is unprofessional and a little childish. A true relic hunter would never do that.
