mystery

It's been a few years since my last request for help, but I know this is the place to come to for the pros to figure out. Found all three items in a sandy soil matrtix within a 30' dia. The middle, Victorian looking item is 6.25" X 3.5", probably stamped copper, weighs 50g or 1.8 oz. The heavy...

Hello! I found this interesting rock in Northern Illinois, the area has been built on but tends to get quite muddy and turn up a lot of rocks. The surrounding area sports a lot of wetlands/glacial runs offs. My SO suggested it as an Agate but I couldn't find an example quite similar. Any ideas...

3 of these structures inside a really nice, large cellar hole. What are they? Root cellars? Storage areas? Why have the stone roof, when the floor from the building would have acted like a ceiling in the basement? Has anybody see these before or know what their use was?

Hey everyone, I found this coin in Western Europe. It is made out of copper and measures about 23mm in diameter (0.9 inches). Only one bit of detail is visible on one side of the coin. Here's a close-up of the only bit of detail. It's a long shot but I know there's an ID somewhere out...

Found this today while metal detecting, I can't find anything about it. Any help would be appreciated

I found this today and have no idea what it might be. It looks to be brass, 4.25" OD 2" ID and 0.25" thick. Front and back are identical. Maybe a mold of some sort? The site where I found it was a settlement back as far as the 1840's and I've found a lot of logging equipment, 1800's...

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...

Hello, if you're reading this you might be able to help me, and for even trying I thank you. This story started around 20 years ago when I was still a boy. My family and I were taking a "vacation" which was basically just a stay with relatives in different cities for a few days a year. It was on...

I found both of these items on separate occasions in the same general area. When I found the first one I didn't think much of it but after finding the second I got curious. Found in Luxembourg in an area that has produced stuff from the 1600s up to modern times. Made of brass or copper except...

I found this item in a field in Luxembourg where I have found stuff from the 1600s - modern times. It appears to be made of copper. The bottom makes it look as if it had broken off of something else but I'm not 100% Any info is appreciated as I have no clue. Thanks!

Found this item in the woods of Luxembourg. The site has produced a couple of Roman coins but mostly 1700s/1800s/1900s stuff. Appears to be brass as it has a nice green patina. My first thought was a Roman brooch but I have realized that is probably wishful thinking. Any info is appreciated...

I found this item in Luxembourg (Western Europe.) It is made of either copper with the knob being made out of iron. I have found other items dating back to the 1600s in the area as well as everything up to modern times. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

I found this item in a field in Luxembourg (western Europe.) I have found items in the area dating back to the 1600s as well as everything in between. It is made out of lead. Any help on what its purpose was or what the emblem at the top is would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Treasure Net! New to the site! Glad to be here! I hope I am doing this right and I hope someone can help me figure out this bottle. The embossing on the front says “REGISTERED” on the top “LIBERTY & MURPHY FALL RIVER, MASS.” The back embossing says “THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD” on the...

I found this item in Luxembourg in Europe. The area I found it in dates back to the 1600s but has everything in-between. I have no idea what it could be but I figured I would post it here before putting it in the junk pile. Thanks for the help.

Has anyone ever seen a transparent stamp? Found the these two Lincoln 4cent stamps with some other older stamps. I searched online for transparent stamps and didn't find anything.

This coin was found in a wall of a house in America. The coin is about the same size as an Australian 50c coin. Around 30mm diameter. I have no other information about it. Please help.....

I found this rock/artifact, no idea what to make of it. :icon_scratch: Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated. A little bit about it: It looks like a rock, the checkered pattern looks like its metal plated, the blue material/mineral reacts to UV light. The survace has a V and is...

Hoping someone here can shed some light on possible artists. There's no signature that I can find, though the painting was restored at some point and the canvas was relined so signature could be on the back but I'd only know if I had it X-rayed. There is an early signature on the back of the...

While flying over Folly Beach, years ago I spotted what appeared to be a massive stone circle in the middle of the marsh. I have made multiple attempts to take my small boat out there at high tide, to no avail. Is anyone on here experienced in maritime navigation so that I can plot the 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...

Most of us are familiar with the story published in the Arizona Republic about a guy named Kincaid finding a cave or caves in the Grand Canyon. I know much has been speculated about this subject and many have tried to find the caves or info about them. Aside from that, does anyone have any OTHER...

I recently found this mystery item that I think was a tool or weapon. At first, I thought it was made from wood or bone but I don't think so. :icon_scratch: I think it is ceramic due to the weight. It is smooth and covered with a patina from use. Both ends are smooth and rounded. Dimensions...
