    Mining for lead

    That sounds nice! The only potential civil war button I have found was the back of a two-piece button with no marks.

    Mining for lead

    These are finds from two days of hunting at the same site. I had never found a Civil War bullet and always wanted to. I thought perhaps I might someday find one or two, but I never imagined I would find this many. With all the iron grunts, I was using the Tekkna program with the 11x13 on my...

    Hi. Does anyone know what this is?

    I would definitely subject the clear portion to a scratch test with a knife blade. If it can be scratched with a pocket knife blade it is not quartz. It just looks a little too rounded to be quartz to me. (If the quartz is that rounded, then any softer host rock should’ve been worn away.) If...

    My best coin ever!

    Keep at it, you’ll find one (or two, or three…). I look forward to seeing you post something when you do!

    My best coin ever!

    Yep! I don’t think I am going to be forgetting that day anytime soon.

    My best coin ever!

    I don’t know where to look on it to find the date. I don’t see any obvious indications around the dirt and corrosion. A couple users on another forum also think the large piece is part of a bell. Knowing where I found it, that is extremely likely. I am planning on running it by my site...

    My best coin ever!

    I’m trying to figure out where to start digging through the caked on dirt and corrosion. You wouldn’t happen to know where to look for the number?

    My best coin ever!

    Thanks! It is going in its own little case. Hopefully we can both find another sooner than five years!

    My best coin ever!

    Thanks, and it was! When I realized what I had I let out a whoop!

    My best coin ever!

    Thanks! Yeah that item still has woody debris jammed in the end hole, so I was thinking it had been in a tree. Edit note: I just took a closer look, and that is not woody debris jammed in the hole but twisted rope fragments!

    My best coin ever!

    I recently obtained permission for my club to hunt a sizable piece of property with historical group usage going back over 100 years. Over 40 of us showed up on the designated day. I heard several people say their first signal of the day was a silver dime! By the afternoon, I was getting a...

    Can anyone help me identify some of these ?

    Yes, I know firsthand that Portland State has a geology department.

    Help with identification, please.

    Looks like another jasp-agate. Some can be quite striking. Have you run these through a tumbler?
  15. Geologyhound

    Anyone kniw what thia is?

    Looks like a jasp-agate - part jasper part agate. The agate side might have been towards the inside of a void, as it looks like there might have been drusy quartz crystals on the surface which have been worn down by tumbling.
  16. Geologyhound

    Help identifying this please?

    Possibly jasper.

    What is this beautiful thing?

    Appears to be a variety of thunderegg. Did you find it in eastern Oregon or northern California?

    Age of Armed Forces Signal Corps pin and other mysteries?

    The 26-37 discs appear to have square dots in a diamond for the background, whereas the 21-26 just seem to have a whole bunch of round dots in the background. Based on that, this one would definitely appear to be the 1921 to 1926 variety (with the newer screw back). Thank you very much for...

    Sorry, I had it on angle in the first post so the tooth would be visible. Please see attached.
