    metal Disney characters

    Got these at a yard sale. They are approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the base of the figure to top and not sure what kind of metal. Found many varieties of metal Winnie the Pooh charms with connecting loops on the head but can't find any figures with the slotted bottom part like these. The...

    Do I have the right coil?

    Bought a used Coiltec 15' WOT. Seller has used it on his SE Pro and Safari. Supposed to be good for my etrac but slot for shaft is a bit too wide and my stock screw is too short. I contacted Coiltek to verify the serial # and they said it was good but to make sure it has a spiral boot at the...

    Looks like a rake but....

    It doesn't look like a handle was attached to it. My detecting partner posted this at another forum but there were no definite ID's. It measures 10.5 x 3 inches and about 1/8th inch thick and made of iron or steel. Found at mid 1800’s site in MA. Some suggestions were: Something for combing wool...

    FE numbers off on my etrac

    My hunting partner had a good signal with his Whites machine. Before digging it he had me check it out with my etrac. CO was 47-48 but FE was 9-10. Told him my CO numbers were in the coin range but didn't think it was a coin as it was shallow and my FE didn't show 12. Darn, was I embarrassed...

    Looking for date of broken bottle pieces

    Was rummaging through a pile of broken bottles. Found this bottle bottom with a pontil mark. Not sure how to date them so posting here. The concave bottom is recessed about a half inch. Also found the top of a bottle in the same pile. I believe the lip was attached after the bottle was made. Not...

    New AT Pro owner

    Just bought an AT Pro. Bart from Big Boys Hobbies treated me well. I have only used it twice. Getting used to sounds and target ID numbers. Thought I would show first cool find. Looks to be a napkin holder with two soldiers. Minus their heads darn it. Looks to be made of cheap cast metal. Might...

    Pretty sure someone knows what this is.

    Not sure what metal this is (maybe brass) but you can see that a rivet secured a wooden insert. The piece of wood still attached at opposite end is held in with a screw. Thought maybe it had something to do with a flag but the curve of the object doesn't make sense for that. Or am I just...

    Another button ID please

    1788 Massachusetts cent

    I try to read the forum at least once a week but generally don't post unless I find something interesting. Sorry if that is bad forum etiquette. I mostly detect cellar holes in Massachusetts and haven

    Silver container

    Same design on both sides but no lettering to help identify what it was. Side view shows thickness at one spot. Guessing it was about 3/16 th inch thick before being crushed. Closeup of top shows "STERLING" and rim where sterling is suggests to me that there was a cover which could have been...

    first matching pair

    Had a good signal but not consistent. One way was possible coin and 90 degree swing had numbers jumping around. Seemed to be a large target so pretty sure it wasn

    Think I know but probably wrong

    Found a few of these at old cellar holes. Not sure what kind of metal but thinking it was nailed to shoe heels, to keep rubber (or leather) from wearing down. Thing is...all the ones I have found are about this size. Small for a shoe unless for a child or small person. Why haven't I found larger...

    Can anyone ID this coin?

    Not much detail to go on. I posted two views of the front as one shows part of some lettering by the top of the head. I've seen some Connecticut coppers that look similar online but the reverse side looks to have a ribbon or pony tail? in the circled area. None of the coins I viewed had anyting...

    first 1/2 first 2 and a 5

    Found my first 2 cent piece today. It was on my wish list and when I found it I could just barely make out the shield. Thought it may be 2 cents but it looked corroded and thought I would never see any good detail. When I got home the dirt had dried out and it just flaked off. Although it has a...

    Hard to date item

    The Rockingham House was origionally built in 1785 and became a hotel from 1883 to 1973. Assume this had a key attached to room 48. Also assume it would be hard to date this item unless there is an interest in Rockingham House memoribila by some collectors. Guess it's possible as it was an...
