Is this a stone tool? Please chime in with your opinion, speculation, or other thoughts - I'm open to all. I visited a local Rock Shop here in East WA a week or two ago and was digging around in their raw mineral bins of rocks by the pound and this caught my eye. It could be from anywhere west...

Hey everyone! My names jamesfrom Connecticut . I’m new to this site and treasure hunting in general. I have always been fascinated by the idea of it and have decided that I’d give it a shot. I’d love the experience of being out trying to find lost treasures. That being said I have no idea where...

Hello I found this while Metal detecting a beach in Long Island New York. It looks like a lot of Native American Tools that I have found online. Does anyone know what this could be? A rock is not the answer that I’m looking for. I already know that info. Thanks !

There is a pretty common misconception among people interested in artifacts that only bifaces (flaked on both sides) with more or less recognizable forms are really "artifacts" and everything else "just rocks." I'm here to point out that this idea completely collapses when an attempt is made...

Hi, has anyone bought or used a MD spade called SE? I found it on Amazon for $14 and it's orange and a best seller. It seems to have great reviews. I believe it's the first one to pop up if you search "metal detecting tools". If anyone could help that would be great because I don't want to...

Are any of these artifacts? or Rocks? Thank you.

I am including a link to a dropbox folder where there are photos of artifacts found in Central Texas that appear to be much older than all the other sites I have been on in my life. Nothing about the site fits any others. The tools are well worn and greasy when first pulled out. Many have...

I am in Lake city Florida and I am finding all these Indian or ancient tools all over my yard!Is this normal?

No clue what this is but it's threaded on the outer thicker end, the opposite end comes to a point but is bent. This was found on an old dairy farm and I believe it's made out of iron. Any ideas ? Thank you in advance.

East Texas, Piney woods area found this stuff in the woods, no houses around. Any help identifying would be appreciated! Thanks for your time. I was trying to clean the knife up a bit, but I kept loosing pieces of the bone, or wood that was left on it so I quit.

My family and I are novice treasure hunters but we would like to learn as much as possible. We have purchased a decent detector (not a toy, but not a $2000 machine either) and we are looking for additional tools. We would like a GPS unit to help mark places we have searched, see where we left...

I have dug ten's of thousands of holes in the last 5 winters at this ranch we have stayed at in east Texas (Private Property with owners consent) always keeping my eyes open for Native American Artifacts while Metal Detecting. I even hunt while taking walks with my husband as my eyes are always...

I found this tool in a pasture located in Winterpock, VA. This is the location of the original Richmond Coal Basin and near the old Richmond Railroad. My first thoughts was a Railroad Adze. It is 12 inches, 4 pounds, iron, symmetrical with a rounded blade and blunt pin. Any Thoughts?

Anyone out there know how old or what century this Axe and Hammer were from? The both look antique especially the axe. Any info would be great! I tested it with a magnet and it does stick to both.

Hello Everyone! It's been a while since I've been here, mostly because I moved to China. I'm going to be returning to my hometown for the summer in a few weeks, and I'm interested in metal detecting again. My friend still has my old detector, a Bounty Hunter QuickDraw II (A member of this forum...

Anyone have any idea what this is? Found on the beach in Santa Cruz. Size is 8" x almost 3" x almost 2". It looks like something was attached to it at the top and broke off or something. Or did the stone form around it? Maybe a rail road spike? Made of stone. No identifying marks on it...
