Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Seems to be copper/silver or brass/silver. On the front side a lot of engraving work and back side has some engraved Arabic writing. Just curious what i could maybe find out. Thanks Travis
I bought this framed picture of a fighter pilot for $1 at a church swap sale today:
Opened up the frame later at home to see if there was a name or any other identifying information for him, but instead found this even older photograph hidden inside:
The tintype is 8.5" × 6" and depicts a...
I found this antique sash buckle in rurorigins. al Alleghany County, Va. I was on the side of a mountain digging behind large boulders looking for Native American artifacts. I was within a mile of the site of an Indian massacre.

Hi all,
These two belt buckles (?) were found on the same farm field. Europe. Are they modern, modern-ish, old, old-ish or older than that?
Material: Iron. Both ca. 5 cm (1,97 inch).
Thanks in advance,

Did I find a kettle point? A few people on Facebook said a sickle mower blade, but I’m not sure I agree after looking at some photos. There aren’t any holes in it.
It was in the hole with a few small scraps of the same metal. I live along a river that was heavily guarded during the War of...
Found metal detecting today. It is hollow, has at least three nails in the top. The bottom is very rusted, but looks like it could be a wheel. It’s is an inch wide and about 2 feet long.
I found this in my yard yesterday, not even metal detecting, I raked it up while laying some grass seed. It was laying pretty much on top of the ground so I don't think it was buried much. I tried searching for vintage buckle, vintage buckle with numbers, fire fighting buckle, vintage fire...
Found this metal piece out in the woods close to the edge of a field. Made of metal with “1820 Greenville O” on it. We live in Greenville, Ohio. Wish I snapped additional pictures of it, but this is all I have. Maybe a piece of old farm equipment? Or possibly some sort of mill piece?
Found this metal bit on the beach this morning….thought maybe once it was cleaned up, it would look less “dirty”…but alas, it made it worse 😂 it’s difficult to unsee 😂 hoping someone here can help me identify what the heck it actually was! I can’t imagine it is what it appears to be! 😂😂 the...
Hi, I went out to the beach this morning to test out a new detector( simplex+ ) and found this tiny little charm near the beach volleyball courts in the first few minutes. Can anyone ID it.? It is only about a half inch in diameter and appears to be religious but not sure what religion. I don't...
Hi, I just started metal detecting and went to the treasure coast area of FL earlier this week. I found a bunch of what appears to be rusty metal washed up on the beach, a local said he finds this stuff near the ship wrecks and attributes the metal to the 1715 wreck. What is confusing me is when...
Found in old farmland in Northwest Georgia. About 4?x3.5?. Two separate pieces found about 30 feet apart. Fairly heavy?some kind of steel with what appears to be some copper in it? Could that be a bullet penetration hole? It doesn't look massed produced and likely hand forged I would think...
Hey guys, so my buddy and I just picked up this giant hunk of raw copper. It weighs around 30 lbs and it's super cool looking, unlike anything I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the previous owner didn't have much of a backstory on it though. All I know is it's from the US. In my research I've found...
Hi found some unusual rocks on the beach today in the rocks on the shallow water. I have brought them home and smashed the smallest ones due to wondering what the inside is like they are some type of metal all the way through
Hello everyone,
I found a greyish-silver metal Nugget approximately 1.7cm in length and 0.7cm in width, while swimming through the Merced River in California (a bit cold).
Before gently scrubbing with soapy water:
It has a shiny silver to almost white streak on porcelain and from what...
These finds are from one of the old foundation sites on my property. It’s the same site I found this locket at http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/629442-can-you-help-dating-find-dug-my-new-site-last-night.html
So I found this spoon head and then this tiny peace of metal close by.

Platinum??Please help me figure what this out.
Hey guys so I was wondering why someone who first bought this home that I just bought still owns the mineral rights, so today I panned some dirt that’s underneath of my house and found this metal stuff. Does anyone know what this could be? I...
My family have had this meteorits for a long time, my dad and grandfather used to tell the story of how they found them in the ranch in México. This meteorits are very heavy, heavier than a normal rock of the same size. When we put a magnet close to it, it just get attached to it. They are all...

Hello, my mum bought this in an auction ages ago because its quite cool and I was just wondering what it is/ how it might have formed? It's cirtainly iron and is very heavy for its size so I wonder if it's quite pure! I half thought it was a meteorite but it dosnt have scorch marks / a layer of...
Went tubing down a river that doesn't allow power boats and I pulled this up. mostly pretty shallow, anywhere from 1 foot deep to 10 or so along the whole thing. It is all metal and the inside piece comes out and only fits in one way. It is about 8 inches long.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
Hello everyone!
Happy Friday! I had a chance to do some detecting today at a very early house site. The site is on 1872 and 1883 maps. There were not many maps made of the aria but I know the house is atleast 1850s or older! The house is mostly gone exept for a perimiter wall and a bunch of...
Went to a Treasure Coast beach yesterday here in Florida. Besides the assorted bottle caps and a not waterproof Samsung Galaxy S10e under 5 inches of compacted sand at the water line, I found the two larger metal pieces also in the wet sand and have no idea about these two items. The pieces in...
Here are the highlights.... and lowlights (is that a word? It should be) of my most recent trip.. I post videos rather than photos because I'm a video producer and that's my forte. For those uninterested or too busy for the video: I went metal detecting at an area on Padre Island called Newport...
Hi ,
While out walking near some woods hidden under some old trees I found this metal sign. I posted it on here in the hope that someone can tell me what it is . I have googled and found nothing. I'm curious as to what it is. It is metal I have no idea of age. It's on a walkway but not a public...
I found this, which rings up as a pretty consistent 80 signal on my AT pro. It was found in an area that used to be colored quarters part of town, not a mine or anything like that, so I dont really think its silver but my interest is definitely peaked. Its heavy for its weight too... how can I...
Found this metal box with key. It's painted red on inside. Weight- It's very heavy- about 11 pounds.
Stamped into the metal on bottom: 1416; Made in Germany. On the center of bottom is a metal bell-like thing that appears to be brass.
I think it is a telegraph but not sure.
ALso, I found...
Hi all - was wondering if anyone had any insight into what this is. It is definitely metal, possible iron due to its rusty appearance. No markings whatsoever. Found in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
I live in a rural area, and running through my property is the old country road, now not used and almost grown over. But back in the 19th century, it was the way to get to town and was pretty busy. Is this a good place to metal detect and what kind of things could i expect to find here. Any help...
