copper

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...

So, Iv'e dug many bullet casings while metal detecting most of them are post 1950's and I know that they are just worth the scrap value. But Iv'e also dug many bullet casings from early 1900's to 1950's and I wonder if they have some monitary value. Iv'e dug many readable dates casings from...

Hey guys check out this video I made from when I dirt fishing a hidden house site and field in the woods. I love finding largies; I find them everywhere here in Newfoundland! :blackbeard::icon_thumright:

So today I went to an location that I'm on very often. Iv'e found coins from mid 1700's to early 2000's there. I'm trying to get proof that some people lived there back in the day while the people living there says the houses are from 1930's and all the people from the 1700 & 1800's was just...

Another button! It's pretty corroded but you can make out Jaynell on it. After looking over my other buttons, I have another jaynell button. Can't find much information on the name other than Jaynell items are rare.

Hey guys. I'm having real trouble IDing this coin that I found. It is extremely worn and seems to be quite old, perhaps my oldest( I hope). Do you guys know what kind of coin this is? You can sort-of see a monarch in the pictures. The other side of the coin is complete corroded. :( Thanks!

Does anyone know what this is? I'm 99% sure it's from World War 2. I found it at sandbridge beach Virginia (in VA beach). P.S. It's made of copper if you didn't already figure it out. (Not sure why my pics are sideways.)

Hello Friends, John hunted a bit over the holiday weekend and dug up some crusty coppers. One is a large cent, we believe from 1797. The other is... ?? We can see a guy's face on it, and a seated lady on the back. There's also the remains of a spoon, pewter we believe, with a DATE carved or...

Hi everyone! Awesome forum and this is my first post here :) Found these 2 items with my GoFind 60 in Pismo Beach, CA. Looks like copper or bronze but I'm not sure.. First item has what seems to be an American Eagle inside a French lily flower and it's 0,4oz. The second item has a weird...

Good evening, friends. Found this coin today. We can't make out the date on this one, but we *think* we see the word "liberty" on the right. Just not sure. Any ideas? Had lovely weather here today--hope you did, too! Thanks for looking. -Lisa & John

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...

This is a small buckle I recovered today(01.31.2017) in the Free State of Jones aka Jones County Mississippi. The property could have had people on it previous to the Civil War. The little Buckle measures 1/2" X 13/16" and appears to be made out of copper with no markings that I can find. I'd...

Any ideas on what this might be ? Looks like either copper or brass, it has 4 holes. 3 of these are right near the center, 1 sits slightly lower near the edge but they are all evenly spaced apart. Any help is appreciated, thanks for looking.

John found this one about 18" down. It's about 29 mm. Wish it was in better condition, but what can you do? We think it's another KG2 halfpenny. Thanks for looking! -Lisa & John

Went out with a new friend today for about 2.5 hours. He agreed to let me and a guy that's from the local historical society tag along to a property that dates back to the 1700s. It was supposed to be a one time permission but as it turns out I actually know the land owner! He works in the same...

Hello again, all. Okay, so we didn't find these "today," but we did find them a few weeks ago and discounted them because we couldn't quite identify them. After some minor cleaning, more details have come to light, and we have been able to narrow down the identities. If any of you fine experts...

Hi all, Did a bit of detecting today. Found a couple of small silver buttons (duplicates of ones we already have), a neat old padlock (not too exciting--iron), and this unidentified coin. Okay, so I know some folks say not to clean them, but...there were NO marks at all visible, no silhouette...

I stumbled across this site when looking for cleaning tips. I picked these mugs up at a junk store for ten bucks in hopes of restoring them to their former glory. I'd love to use these for making Moscow mules. I just hope they can be resurrected. I'd love to hear your tips for cleaning these up...

Heya everyone; Here is a little follow up of the copper bar that I found with my Nokta FORS Gold a while back. The video is a little older as I still thought it was native copper when I recorded it. I thought I had uploaded this video already but when I looked back through my video's I didn't...

Just dug up this Newfoundland one cent "Largie". It's my first Newfoundland coin from the 1920's and it is the most recent date in my collection. Can't believe the detail. Monarch side still needs cleaning.:hello2:

I don't know what is more common: the small cent or the large cent. I found this 1940 Newfoundland small cent. It is the same size as a US/CAN penny. Usually, they come out of the ground in a rough condition; but this one is in the best condition yet!

Wow. What a find this was. It is the most beautiful relic I have dug up yet.:love4: Too bad I'm not exactly sure what it is.

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:

:laughing7:??? Hello fellow tnet members...my girlfriend and I were walking in a local park here in Pinellas County Florida when she happened to stumble upon this...thing. It looks to be made of brass or copper. Pipe? Sword hilt? Any ideas? Please and Thank you-----James aka L0STANDF0UND PS...

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...

Anyone know what this is or could have been used for? This item came into a family member's possession after the passing of a friend who was an avid civil war relic collector. We have been baffled by what this could have been used for and would appreciate any information. The stake portion is...

I went detecting at a ballpark with a friend when I found it. The thing read as a dollar coin on the BH QuickDraw II, but I believe it's made of copper, because the oxidized metal is a greenish color. It looks like there used to be a pin on the back as well. The design on the rear is...

Hello, I haven't been on here for quit awhile due to Massachusetts and its long winters which put a damper on my artifact hunting. So on to what I've got now, I can identify some basic scrapers knives grinders ect, however the image below contains the artifacts in question. Any opinions are most...

I found this item over ten years ago. I found it when I was 13 years old with my first metal detector. The house I found it at has a lot of history including that it was built by a man who fought in the Civil War. The house is near Pittsburgh. I never found out what it was and it has just been...

Found this digging in my back yard. House has been here since 1854. It measures 4" tall x 1.5" wide. looks like the top was round at one time. There is a name on it but hard to read. TRE--X-? Weight is 8.5 ozs. I'am stumped...

This fragment is about 1" tall and 1 1/2" wide. It is fairly flat, aside from some uneven bending from wear and other damage. It has a left-facing eagle with shield, arrows, and olive branch (a variation on the Great Seal of the US). There are stars above the eagle - 9 on the fragment but...

Hi, Just found this coin. Can someone please help me identify it? thanks, Eric

I found this near shoreline of Upper Michigan lake, near Wisconsin border. I screwed up and cleaned it a bit. There was a bit of what seemed to be a pine tar like substance on one side. I know it's copper, just can't tell if its worked/formed, or perhaps natural state left by the glaciers...

Today I pulled this out at about 9'' with the T2 Se. I think it is some kind button. Do you know what it is? Thanks,

I feel like its a copper penguin wind chime though i could be wrong. There is a hole in the top that had a something like fishing line tied to it but it fell off. Width: 2 inches Height: 1 Inch Thick: 20mm thick Thanks in advance for your answers.

On my third day with the new Teknetics T2 SE I got a consistent signal at 8". I finally got the object out of the hole at a honest 8'', On the ground I saw what I thought is a coin. When I picked it up I saw a shank and knew I had my first button. When I got home I did research and discovered it...
