shell

Went on a big adventure today in a muddy swamp. Five hours of constant walking, all mud, all new, likely never hunted by anyone before. The results, a couple hundred dollars in rare bottles including an original Shell Motor Oil, three late 19th C. blob tops - small, medium, and large, and two...

While out gold panning I found this weird shell like fossil? It feels like shell material. Slightly brittle on the thin edges. It was lying in the dry creek bed. Maybe someone here can identify it.

Hi All, It's been two years since I posted and also two years since I went on the same beach as the rock I found with what looked like a Dino print in. last week we went to the beach in between Anglesey and I picked this up which looks like the imprint of a shell of sorts? Any ideas of type...

Hi All, Actually this was found yesterday in Petawawa, Ontario. Any ideas? Let me know. Thanks!

Some ammo from WW2, .50 cal shells. 2 from st louis stamped in 43 and 1 stamped CL also from 43. 5.56 round same origin and year. Lucky enough to find the slug from one of the .50's a incendiary round. And to top it off a strip clip

I acquired this beauty at a second hand store, neat story read on..... I'm a treasure Hunter like to the thrift store environment and upon discovering a new treasure trove I hurried through the door. Immediately the shop owners mother and I struck up friendly conversation as I shopped around...

Hello. While cleaning some of my grandfather's belongings I found what I thought was an artillery shell. Rather should I say it found me. It rolled and fell off a shelf about 12' on a concrete flooring scaring me half to death as I thought it was live. Upon no bang I went back to see it was...

I know what your thinking: Another cannonball? I sure hope so! I was just out detecting with a friend of mine on an exposed river bed in an old New England town. My buddy was detecting and got a huge signal and called me over. I figured it was junk, but he had to dig. What emerged I could...

All I can say is WOW!!!! At 12:15 pm got a signal. Dug down 11 inches and found a fired minie ball. Still had a signal in the hole. Faint but worth digging. The Minelab GPX is a great machine and gets good depth. Little did I know I would spend 4 hrs digging a 3 ft hole for this beauty. A 20...

1940 Shell Road Map Book - United States I recently purchased a 1940 Shell- United States Road Map Book - lithograph by HM Gousha. (estate sale) It's very large (18.5" L x 13.5" W). The outside binding is worn but the pages inside are in nice condition. Each State has its own map inside...

Finally bought some headphones and am learning to pinpoint with the detector and not rely on the depth gauge or the discrimination. This one was about 8 inches deep. I was swinging handfuls of dirt over the detector and this popped up in one of them but it is so small that I never saw it or felt...

Need a little help on today's good find. I found this in the woods next to a locale school. any info would be cool! Thanks.. I think maybe 22 cal only because very small. Also hollow on bottom. Looks like could have been dropped and not fired.. More info.. weight is 5 grams width 1/4...

Went camping over the weekend and had the most unfortunate weather… that is unless you’re an amateur paleontologist! As wind, rain and lighting smashed the top of the mountain I was on, it exposed hundreds of these sea shell fossils. An interesting reminder of the dynamic shift that God put...

I can't quite find out what this Shell was fired in, any help to find out what it was used in would be greatly appreciated! Markings on the Casing: 84 (most likely meaning 84mm I think?) SP67 St (meaning Strengthened case maybe?) 108 (probably the LOT #) it also has in big letters...

I dug this shell up at a local park today, nothing special. I would like to know a date if possible. Thanks!:-X It's hard to read but it says Western Super-X No. 12 Made in USA

yes indeed!

Started detecting 2 weeks ago; Ace350 + propointer. Any suggestions for finding coins in an area littered with rifle/pistol casings and bullet fragments? I must have been finding about 50 per hour.
