Hello Members, I would like to share little historical finding with you. from the owner of the attached in picture "THERE WAS A WHITE WHO LIVED MUFINDI HILLY AREA BEFORE WORLD WAR I,HE HAD A BLACK LABOURER WHO STAYED WITH.HE DAILY EMBARKED ON GRINDING ELEPHAT TEETH MIXING WITH OTHER...

Hello, I was hoping someone could tell me if this is an artifact or just a rock. It was found in a creek near my home where we have also found a couple arrow heads. It weighs almost 3 pounds, is the perfect fit for your hand and has little white marks like it's been struck against something...

Gentlemen, I have recently found a cannonball near the citywalls of Maastricht (the Netherlands). It weighs approx. 4.9 kg. (small bits missing), and its diameter varies between 10.2 and 10.8 cm (not sure whether this variation is due to manufacturing, or impact). The city was laid siege to by...

Hi, Today i found a metal ball on the beach (what i believe is metal) 3.8cm diameter weighing 91ish grams. My dad believes its not metal but i think it is. Can anyone help us identify? I also nipped a bit of the ball off on the grinder and it sparked and showed a shiny surface. Cant wait for...

Hey guys! Here is a few pictures of my first find! A lid to a 1933-1960 Ball jar.

I've been working with the local military park and the regional archeologists. We've been out all week detecting their hiking trails. I even got to dig my first big chunk of exploded cannonball. Fun stuff. Anyway on to the topic at hand. At one of the places I've been detecting the property...

I'll just cut to the chase, I found this 1.25" metal ball (probably brass) in the yard of a very old house today. It has a green tarnish and doesn't stick to a magnet. It is heavy like it's solid. When I dug it I just knew it was a ball from a canister shot but I'm pretty sure those were iron...

Hello! I've reccent dug an Ball-blue Half-gallon Mason Jar c.1923-1933 With "Pe ffct" lettering error. Although I'm quite attached to it.. I was wondering if the error would effect its value in any way. Thanks! The Jar- And measured- And the bottom-

I was digging in my flowerbed and came upon an iron ball with something inside. I see no seam and there are a few small specs of green that look like the original coating. It is just a little bigger than a golfball. There is what looks to be a faint design and number or word, but I can't make it...

I think the most likely explanation is milling balls. These two spheres were found in some freshly turned soil in Rural Oklahoma. At first observation they appear to be some kind of highly polished and handmade stone ball or marble. The objects have similar coloring and pitting that a stone...

I found this in a local forest preserve in Illinois. Indians lived here for hundreds of years and artifacts have turned up from time to time. The object is clearly perfectly round-except where it is damaged. It is not solid stone-appears to be earth material. Perhaps clay or mud. It is also...

So I went metal detecting in Rockville, CT alongside my fathers house and dug up this ball about 1 foot deep in the ground. Could it be a cannon shot? Or just some farm equipment from the 1800's. Either way, I am stumped on this one. Wt: 5.83 oz Diameter: ~1.4" Feel free to ask any other...

Hey everyone! Love this site and thank you for any input. Not sure whether to post pics inline or just as attachments. Found some glass bottles (3 to be exact) that are in excellent condition- still have a cork in them! The glass manufacturer "Ball" is stamped (imprinted in the glass) on the...

Please see Attached pictures of the One Quart Glass Bottles that I found while cleaning our farm. 1. What is the history of the Ball company? 2. Is this circa 1923 (assumed based on the top line of the bottom of the bottle)? 3. Can anyone give me a value, even an estimated one for these? 4...

Found three clear glass bottles in excellent condition. The glass manufacturer "Ball" is stamped on the bottom and all three still have partial corks in them. "Federal Law Forbids Sale Or Re-Use Of This Bottle" is impressed on it as well as "ONE QUART". The bottom says: D-23 73-8 "Ball" is in...
