    Brass pins/posts

    Found in Northern Missouri. Proximity finds are pictured, the leg band is from poultry(not wild waterfowl) and I have several of these now with dates ranging from 1948-1950 although I have seen another example with 1930-something. The only thing needing an ID is the 3 brass pins. They are oval...

    mystery item

    Anyone recognize what this is? I think it is made of lead but I'm not sure. It has the same design on both sides, shown in pics, but it has different numbers or letters on both sides. My best guess is a type of fuse, either electrical or thermal melt point. Some water sprinklers use a melting...

    DX-1 repair, broken wire

    My DX-1 has a bad connection right at the probe where the coax goes through the tension relief, specifically where the coax is pinched at the base of the tension relief. Part of the time it goes beserk and overloads. Re-adjusting the tension relief helps make it usable but slowly it is getting...

    money clip?

    I found this today near a 1903 IH cent in the local park. It has a loop on it like it was attached to a chain. The face of it has some remains of enamel. I cannot tell if it ever had any information stamped on it because it is pretty toasted. It broke in two places while getting pictures. The...

    Help ID a trade token

    Here are some of my finds from today. All but the trade token is self explanatory, and I guess it is also obvious what it is but I'd like to know more about who Roy Gates was and when this token would have been made. Usually, these tokens would have a store name on them. It looks pretty old and...

    thin lid, condoms?

    Can anyone tell what this lid was used for? It is very low profile, aluminum and threaded. The top of the design had lettering and only a few letters remain...EAM, above that looks to be a N. LARKIN CO. BUFFALO In case this site ever gets pictures to load again, I'll post image tags as usual and...

    1945 S nickel error coin?

    Can anyone tell if this is an error coin and if so what the error is called? It appears to be flaking or de-laminating. Near the edge where it is pushed back it continues underneath this 'peel' but it is really hard to get a picture showing that. And it is dirty and this crevice is full of crud...

    Old Ben Inferno Coal?

    I found these 2 foil discs today and tried searching but can't find anything other than some match boxes on ebay that are Old Ben. They don't say anything about coal though. What are these foil discs for? Also found was a silver quarter and 1919 Wheat cent.

    Help with ID

    I found this at an old school lot that the school has been torn down for several years now. Its made of brass and the only thing I can think it might be is an ink refill for a pen but it seems it would be too old for that type of pen. It almost resembles a lipstick case but its way too small for...

    wrought iron range co plate, sign?

    Can anyone tell me what this is and what it was made for? I can't imagine how this could have been part of a "Range". If you notice my description of it below, one of the dates for St Louis doesn't make any sense to me because all the other years are that cities world fair. When I found it I...

    Easy Tone/Tarnish to cleaned silver

    I recently found my 2nd silver war nickel and shined it up with baking soda and water. It not worth much more than melt value, if any at all, so I'm not affecting its value. After shining it up, it really needed cleaned due to some stuck on junk near Jeffersons chin, I decided I wanted a rainbow...

    shotshell collection

    I have quite a few shotgun shells now and figured I would list them for anyone interested in looking through them to see if there are any odd or rare ones they havn't seen many before. If you know anything about any given ones, feel free to post and specify which one you're referring to. I will...

    MXT Pro secret mode/tones

    I read about a secret mode on the MXT Pro that allows you to use Relic Mode but with multi-tones found only in C/J mode. I'm interested in trying this out since Relic Mode is more stable than C/J and I really like the multi-tones from C/J but I cannot find the source that explained how to access...

    MXT Pro finds silver and INDIANS!

    It only reached about 35 degrees and was very windy today but I'm glad I went metal detecting. I found my oldest indian head cent too! The V nickel is a nice change from the norm as well. I also found a 1916 Merc, too bad it doesn't have a D mint mark. Turned out to be one of my better days...

    Boy Blue button ID

    I found this button yesterday in the same area where I found the 1864 two cent piece, but this button is most likely about 100 years newer. I searched 'boy blue' button but cannot find anything relevant. Any button specialist know anything about this? Is 'boy blue' a brand? age, ect...thanks!
