So a couple of years ago in England, I went to High Force which is a big waterfall and tourist attraction. It was a geographical trip so we had to observe rock formations etc, but whilst I was in the river, I found 2 purple-ish natural stones with a very nice shimmer to them. Since they were...

Harp on front... "Waterbury Button Co ***" on back. Appears to have been gold gilted at one time. Any help with ID is greatly appreciated. Was found at a cabin built in 1818, Northern Kentucky.

Not sure if I should crush this up for gold or keep it as a desk piece. A lot of different colored quartz crystals and a lot of what I'm assuming is iron powder on the inside. Pics are of the rock split in a third, pretty decent size and weight. Found it under a trees roots along a dry creek...

I live in a glacial valley right next to a river that runs through it. Every time the river is low, I go and check to see if anything interesting or abnormal has been washed down. Yesterday I found this (pictured), and it stood out a lot from the rocks around it. It's heavy for it's size, it's...

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...

I recently found this piece at a sawmill/lumber yard site from the 1920's. At first I thought it might be a cover to a light from a truck or vehicle. The little posts on the inside don't have threads so I'm not sure what it went on. It measures 3-1/2" x 4". It was quite rusty when I found it...

I have found these in the beach sand. From that day on no one is able to help me identify these. In these pictures the stones are 100% dry.

Anyone ever come across this type of rocks. It's really magnificent when looking at it with your own eyes. If you zoom in on the pictures you can see it even clearer. Are the shiny elements some sort of metal?. I'd appreciate any help in identifying it. Thanks AtlasC.

One day while walking in the woods, I found a rock embedded in the ground. It seems to have what might be regmaglyphs on it as well as a semi-glossy coating which could be the fusion crust (Picture 1). After a few hours of internet research I finally gave up and nearly a year later I decided to...
