bronze

Hi forum, great to be here and to join ! many thanks ! I struggle to identify an item I have. This looks religious Jewish copper or bronze or brass bell. Impossible to tell due to the patina. I tried with google image search I had no luck. I have found identical bells but religious Christian...

I recovered these three portholes from the site of an old forgotten shipwreck on April 6th 2024. They consist of two seven-inch portholes and one five-inch porthole. All found resting in alignment with eachother from where the wreck disintegrated in place around them. They are all still operational.

It looks like some lid, we are not sure about the age or purpose of the item. Could you help us?

Hello everyone, Some of my best finds, I'm from Ukraine, we had Scythians, this is the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD

A few months back at low tide, as the sun was setting, I discovered a red bronze boat rudder that had been broken off at the shaft. I excavated it from the mud and carried it 1/4 of a mile through rough watery terrain. Then at home I cleaned it up. Initially believing it to be fairly old I...

I found this object in a field in western mainland Europe. The area I found it in has stuff dating from Roman times-modern times with everything in between. If I had to guess I would say it's a late 17th-century doorhandle but that's a guess. It's made of copper or some sort of copper alloy. Any...

I found this item in Luxembourg (Western Europe) in an area with stuff from the 1600s-modern times. The top part of bronze or some sort of copper alloy with the bottom part being iron and is very heavy for its size. I have no clue as to what it might be so any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Found this in the sand beaches of North Carolina today. It to me looks like a skull at the top in Black and then a bronze possibly claw or tooth attached. The gold like metal sparkles in the black seem different than the bronze part. I'm very new to this so any suggestions or guidance would be...

I found this today at the beach on the Ottawa River. What is this it’s heavy.

Had a mixed bag Saturday morning consisting of a few out of the ordinary things. Most of these came from one giant neighborhood sale (30+sales). An 8 3/4" bronze Ganesh statue. Any thoughts on age? A cool brass beetle on leaf broach with no maker mark...any thoughts on age or maker or what to...

I'll so I finally decided to join the conversation! I've been following treasurenet.com for many years, from a voyeurs perspective. I always loved seeing and reading about people's finds. Over the years I've seen what I feel to be remarkable finds, from my own personal interests, and I always...

My oldest foreign and mexican find since today, it is a 1906 One Bronze Centavo 1¢. Minted 1905-1949.

My friend was going to use this for an ashtray! I stopped him though and bought it from him and now I'm hoping to find out a bit more about it...... he found it in a house his demolition crew was going to tear down. There were many other antiques (even some ancient ones!) there and some were...

Hi everybody! My sister gave me this... small, really heavy ball, that for years we have referred to as the cannon ball. She found it back in 2010 in the middle of nowhere Utah. I finally decided to do some research on it, and starting to think it is probably not a canon ball afterwards. Any...

I was detecting in an old river that was 'drained' awhile ago in the middle of the forest, there is rumors of medieval places nearby. And I got a strong 50's signal, dug it up and got a quite old looking copper ring: (The scale is in Centimeters) I just wonder how old this ring could be, I...

I bought this at auction. The description was only 'meso american bronze dagger, on modern display, 10"L." I figure it's just a new decorative piece, and paid accordingly. If so, it sure does seem to be a really well done/aged modern. I spent hours searching forums, museum sites, etc to no...

Hi gang, John detected for a few minutes today and found this gorgeous button that appears to be bronze. I think it's a button, although I haven't seen many that are hollowed out on the back like that. Just sharing a pretty little find. Happy digging. -Lisa & John

Hi everyone, here are today's findings. Some of the things are bizarre - the lead/pewter pieces have weird indentations or designs on them. Lots of pottery shards. The item John is most interested in learning about is the bronze cap-looking thing. It was dug at 18" deep and registered around 85...

Found another Newfoundland one cent coin. It is one of the best conditioned large cents I have found so far. Oh! And it's another Victorian era coin. The sixth oldest in my collection of dug coins. :thumbsup::hello2:

I recently purchased this ring online, which was listed as being made of bronze and from the "Byzantine/Medieval" period. Is this an accurate description, and if so, any rough guesses as to the age? I've attached some close-up shots, along with some nifty microscopic photos of the hands and...

I don't recall where I found this piece of bronze. Either California High Desert So. Cal. or Superior AZ. By the the look of the patina and odd shaped tool it has a pin on one end like a clevis and half round on other. Any ideas.

Bronze anchor dont know make or history of anchor need help thank you

I'm really not sure at all what this is and I know there's a good chance if anyone can identify it, it will be someone here.. It is quite old and I'm guessing a couple hundred years by the patina. The gauge of the metal is heavy. It appears to probably be a part of something larger. The...

I have looked around the internet and have been unable to find anything like this. I would appreciate any help I can get identifying it. Thank you. It is about 10 inches height and 6 inches width. I put a magnet on it and it does not stick so I think it is bronze. The maker's mark appears on...

Purchased at estate sale of old house owned by church for 150+ years in Wisconsin. Closest thing I can relate it too is a Roman victory medal. Made of bronze. Any ideas on age or origin? Any value? Thanks.

Took a friend to a family-run estate sale while on our garage sale trail. Walking through the house, me and my friend spotted a statue of an eagle. At first I thought it was brass, but upon closer inspection the bottom label read "Wings of Glory by Ronald Van Ruyckevelt. Solid bronze. Franklin...

Hi, I'm new to this site and tried to post in What is it but looks like that is closed. I have these two really unique heavy bronze pieces that no one has a clue to what they are. I would appreciate any guidance anyone can offer. Thanks, George
