Is it a brass nail? Did you find it on the beach?

Brass/bronze nails on the beach often mean shipwreck.

I had missed read this as "it is a brass nail." I am not sure if its brass. Can anyone confirm its a brass nail? :icon_scratch:

G, I really can't tell from the photo, but there is not that much difference between brass and bronze because both are an alloy of copper. The main difference between brass and bronze is that brass is mostly made of copper & zinc, while bronze is mostly made of copper & tin. Either way those nails are cooooool finds!

You have such interesting finds EVERY day. Do you find that many items each time you MD? And are they basically in the same area, the beach? Breezie

Brass is more yellow but hard to tell.

SodaBob posted something about brass having a tiny amount of iron and possibly slightly attracting a magnet but I didnt know that.

I think brass has a distinct odor, but it is hard to smell when it has patina like these nails.

Brass is not ferromagnetic. Breezie

Not magnetic whatsoever. I do find a good number of artifacts when I go out. I do not usually post anything if I didn't find it the day of. I have a few secret spots that I believe no one has ever detected, so the finds are plenty. Beach has been good for me lately. My goal is to find a tree coin. They were minted in mass, but a lot are found up in NH. I hope some day I will achieve my tree coin goal. :dontknow:
Thanks for your nice comments Breezie. :wink:
