mystery item

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 Western mainland Europe at a site that produces stuff from the medieval era up to the 21st century but most of the finds are concentrated in the 19th century. It is made out of some sort of copper alloy. I figure it dates to the late 19th century but I have no clue what it...

I found this charm while detecting, and I am wondering if anyone has seen something like it... frankly, I am just confused as to what it even is. It looks like a bundle of logs tied together, or maybe some kind of flower bundle? It has the remains of a "Taiwan" sticker on the back, and it was a...

Hunting a field in southern Ohio, I dug this very old brass tube (approximately the length and diameter of my pinky finger.) When I returned home, I took a chopstick to try and clean out the dirt on the inside of the tube and instead, a piece of wood or rolled up paper of some kind popped out...

Found this while on a hike with my son. Didn’t even notice what was on/in the back until cleaning it today. Any ideas at all? Could it possibly be a fossil of some sort? Doesn’t look like it to me.

What is this? My initial though was some sort of adornment that went through a button hole, maybe the face fell off. But once again I'm stumped. It's a brass octagon with a stem. Is it the butt of a rivet? the only reason I kept it was because of its shape. Help me!

Greetings to you all. This is my first time posting.I have been detecting for about a year and I live in SW Virginia near Roanoke,Va and Smith Mountain Lake,VA. My last trip to a house owned by a Amish family I was able to recover a perfect revolutionary war hessian soldier eagle button. I was...

Got a little play money (aluminum) on my last hunt and it sure was not easy to find, had a 12 type light bulb socket and a few other misc items all right together including one of the mystery domes and a blob of lead that must have weighed in at 6 ounces. Think I have found three of the domes at...

The Buffalo nickel a 1929 (dates hard to read but there) was unexpected read out a pretty repeatable 12 on the ETracs conductive scale, was around 6 inches down. Got a few clad and other nick knacks out there but on the way back to my truck I dug what was a low 30 -31 signal and got the mystery...

I am curious to see if anyone can help me solve the mystery of this item I purchased on eBay a while back. The seller did not know what is was, and I only bid on it because I thought it may be a Civil War button or coin. It's about 7/8 of an inch wide, and the thickness varies from 2 mm to 3.5...
