    dug at a old tavern is this for holding pots over the fire place ??????

    Just a thought, to me it looks like an old forged rope hitch, I'd guess for logging or agricultural lifting. Usually the supports for hanging a pot over a fire were "S" of "C" hooks and less substantial. Very nice find, and Happy hunting

    Help to identify this field find

    Hello, and nice find. I'm taking a bit of a guess here but I think it could be a pin-back brooch, and I have a couple odd twists on that. I think your photo shows the back of the piece with the hinged end of the pin toward the top of the frame. The clip or hook side of the pin would be toward...

    How many still use a vintage classic detector from the 70's-80's?

    My first "grown up" metal detector was a CZ7a, and I remember it picking up really deep signals, getting great battery life, and finding every deep bottle cap that was ever thrown away. It was a really nice machine but it sure loved bottle caps. Happy detecting and Best Wishes.

    Strange piece finally ID'd for me....

    I mentioned that I'd post the one I dug a number of years back, here it is. It it still one of my favorite finds just because it is odd. The gnomon is in place and can be lifted but it's hinge is badly corroded and I think it'd probably break if fully extended. The small circular area that looks...

    New Forum, lot's of questions

    I think the closest thing to an Atlas you'd find would be reference copies of the City Directory (yearly publication, most libraries have them for their city and probably have archives. Here's a couple other ideas that worked OK for me. Historical societies are probably your best resource...

    Any ideas about this piece?

    My Googling got the better of me - if you search "Pocket Sundial Robbins Co." and check out the images you'll see it. I'll still post mine, they are really cool. Once again thanks and Best Wishes.

    Any ideas about this piece?

    I know exactly what this is - and it is odd. What you have found is a pocket sundial. Originally there was a blade (referred to as a gnomon) in the long slot and the small circular cutout was for a very small compass to align the sundial. At least some of these were given out as "real working...

    Couple silvers and a diamond!!!

    Comparing the size of the round to the size of the dimes I believe it is a 32 short rimfire. It should be just shy of an inch long (0.948 inch, clearly longer than the diameter of a dime) the case diameter would be 0.317-0.319 and the rim diameter 0.377 inch. Per the on-line info the cartridge...

    Dug out of a rural soccer field

    Very nice find. I think what you may have is a "Lord of the Rings" ring. I was going by the height of the verticals in the lettering and the text on bot the inside and outside of the ring. You casn google "lord of the rings one ring" to pull up some really high res images and see if yours...

    Question Etrac vs Equinox vs CTX 3030

    Hello, I have not been detecting much for about 10 years and not at all for few years. Now it looks like I’ll have time to get back into the hobby. I’ve used Fishers CZ-7A, Sovs (XS and XS2A pro) and a few others, my current detector is an Explorer XS, an early one. I’m debating getting a fresh...
