war

And here I am again. Have a nice day and good mood everyone. I don't know about you, but I already miss my treasure map. I remember in the previous topic I touched upon the simplest symbol, the sun. But I simply did not take into account that perhaps many did not understand the simplest element...

Hello all, I recently found a box of civil war bullets in an abandoned house that was being torn down. Most were obvious enough to know what they were when I saw them. My question is about the two on the right in the bottom row. I'm guessing that the farthest right on the bottom row is a musket...

Greetings to all treasure hunters. I sincerely wish everyone a successful hunt in search of relics. For those who are interested in the topic of my first story, I decided to continue, in the form of a short cycle - "questions and answers". (if someone is interested in the topic, you can join a...

New to forum found this yesterday. Curious on your thoughts of when it is from. My facebook group thinks Revolution or 1812. Has anyone seen this one? Google image searching hasn't helped

found this a few years ago appears to be military. I think it’s a crown above two crossing swords and shield. I believe it to be made of pewter so i was think rev war possible??? I’m not even sure how they would wear this. Any help is appreciated thanks!!

Hello everyone! Happy Friday! I had a chance to do some detecting today at a very early house site. The site is on 1872 and 1883 maps. There were not many maps made of the aria but I know the house is atleast 1850s or older! The house is mostly gone exept for a perimiter wall and a bunch of...

My uncle found two helmets a few years ago and ever since, my family has been debating on the origin and value of them. I'm under the impression that the helmets are from two separate places, found by a collector. Please help us!

When I 1st saw this just as it came out of the ground, I thought it was a Bayonet, but I have been unable to verify this... Anyway the round end is hollow and threaded, and I think the hole on each side of it is for a pin, but that is just a guess... It also has 3 sides/blade/vanes... So come on...

Hi friends, John just dug this. It has a wick in it and the pin pointer makes a really high-pitched sound when touched. Some type of grenade? Found it deep in the stream. No idea as to age. Thanks for looking. -Lisa & John UPDATE--after rinsing, we think it is in active because it is filled...

What is this trench crossing in the middle of a limestone creek, and what was it used for? It's roughly 2-3 feet wide, and runs from one side of the creek to the other. It's a little over a foot deep. I've dug out parts of it a few times and found a handful of civil war bullets each time.

Hi! New to MD scanning on land in upstate Ny - Found an oxen shoe almost a foot deep & today found these 2 - Wondering best way to id musket balls. Can find info on battles 30mins away so I know it's a good place to search. Any help or info would be great - have to dig mega deep it seems for...

I really a lot of people asking about buttons. So with that being said I have a very good friend and brother who is a button expert second to none. I bet that he can figure out any button especially military buttons. Military buttons are his specialty and he owns his own website...

Hey guys I was taking down barbed wire fence yesterday and found a little button. It's a Wanamaker and Brown. Was curious about dates and use maybe?

Hey guys I bought a box full of old ammo. I am able to date most of it. This one seems civil war to me. I live in WI so I dont know much about civil war stuff. (Pics below) Thanks, Landon

While at a spot today I found this lying on the surface of a pile of rubble. I know its the North Carolina state seal on it, But I was hoping to get some more information on it as I found very little.. ??? Cleaning tips also appreciated! :) Thanks! And happy hunting!

Hi, I have had this helmet for some time now and don't really know for sure what it's origin is. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. I am new and am having issues uploading pictures on here but if i[ATTACH=CONFIG]1226320

Found this excellent conditioned Newfoundland small cent today. 8-)

I don't know what is more common: the small cent or the large cent. I found this 1940 Newfoundland small cent. It is the same size as a US/CAN penny. Usually, they come out of the ground in a rough condition; but this one is in the best condition yet!

Good morning everyone. I was hoping someone on here could help me identify this bayonet I have. I have done a lot of research on this bayonet and haven't found any solid evidence on who made it, or when. The over all length is about 21 inches, the blade is just under 18 inches, the socket is 3...

I was digging in my flowerbed and came upon an iron ball with something inside. I see no seam and there are a few small specs of green that look like the original coating. It is just a little bigger than a golfball. There is what looks to be a faint design and number or word, but I can't make it...

Dowsing Help Wanted for silver or gold bars, coins or jewelry. Hi Ho! I've been practicing dowsing with my homemade L-Rods for about a year. I use a rose Quartz pendulum as well. I typically use them to find my lost keys or remote control or the wayward book in my home. Now I want to venture...

I actually found this in the late 90's early 2000's.. Not Really sure about it's history, Can anybody tell me more about this. Hope this is the right area. Thank you for looking! It was found in Capitol hill -Denver, Colorado.

I have an unopened Le Soleil Malines tin in with what I think are peas. According to my late father, is was part of the soldiers' rations in the war, presumably WWII. I cant seem to find any info on the net. Any info on date or price will be appreciated.

hi! thought you guys here might know more about this than me! I have a small cannon ball with a ring that pops out around it... and two circles on each end. it weighs 147 grams and is 1.25 inches across... my thoughts are the ring is meant to be tighter in the cannon to shoot further or...

I found this in a place close to my home in Asturias (Europe). I have no clue what is this, its made of lead (i think) its very heavy. There have been many troops in this area (from Franco, Hitler, Communists, etc... but could have any other origin). Its strange it is labeled in English, as the...

Revolutionary War cannonball shell! I found this sticking out of the ground in the woods. It is a cannonball shell from the Revolutionary War. I had know idea what it was up until today while I was looking up cannon ball pictures on the internet. Also I think it is from the Revolutionary War...

Hello treasurenet! I have recently come upon a very large collection (1200+) of antique/vintage sheet music. The collection dates from the late 1800's-mid 1900's. I have sorted through each piece individually, grouping them into poor, fair, good, mint. As stated above there are 1200+ sheets...

I was in a old school built in the '40s and the field had been hit by metal detectors hard. In the field I got no good signals. I normally do not dig zinc signals but I really had really good feeling about this one. I figured "What the heck, i'll dig it" Then at 6" the object was out of the...

Hey today i decided to go hunt my front yard. I have already found 36 square head nails that i have been told were used with supply crates for the troops. well they would burn the crate and the nails would be left behind! so i want a little left of the area and BAM! A Nice 87-90 id number and...

I read Rebel's latest reply on swiftsearcher's "Vault" topic and decided to start this new topic where we can discuss anything about the activities and members of the Knights of the Golden Circle after the Civil War ended. This thread can include, but is not limited to, KGC members work in...
