    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?

    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.

    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...

    Age of Armed Forces Signal Corps pin and other mysteries?

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

    Age of Armed Forces Signal Corps pin and other mysteries?

    If I’m understanding you correctly, yes this face is definitely the 1921-1926 variety with the textured surface and raised edge. However, the screw nut appears to be incorrect for this face. The nut definitely appears to be the 3A variety (1937-1943) from the German dagger website. The nut has...

    Age of Armed Forces Signal Corps pin and other mysteries?

    Fantastic, thank you! According to this webpage, the screw back is from 1937 to 1943. However the collar disc itself is the 1921 to 1926 variety. It is a single pin type which generally meant state or militia. So someone lost the original back and got a newer replacement before losing the...

    Age of Armed Forces Signal Corps pin and other mysteries?

    I found this US armed forces Signal Corps pin perhaps 30 feet from where I historically found an 1890s barber dime. I can’t find any information online to indicate the age, so any help would be appreciated. All the modern ones appear to have a smooth background, are domed, or don’t have a...

    Can anyone help me identify some of these ?

    Depending on the walking trail, then the gravel may be imported decorative stone and not locally derived.

    What kinda rock is this?

    There is definitely some banding in it. Gneiss would be an option. I see somebody mentioned jet in another post, but that would be relatively soft and easy to scratch. The rounding and the shininess of the surface along with your next post (Portland area) makes me think basalt and flow...

    Can anyone help me identify some of these ?

    The silver sparkly one may be a mica schist or gneiss. A lot of the rest looks like quartzite. These are all metamorphic rocks. The reddish one might be jasper (igneous or sedimentary). The Portland area should be comprised primarily of Columbia River Basalt and some sedimentary rock. A lot...

    Any idea what this is?

    Can you post a picture of the back? It looks like it was made to hold something with the tabs on top and bottom. But it also looks like there might of been a hole through it. My first look I was thinking pendant. But that loop looks thick for jewelry. At a second look I was wondering about a...

    Rock identification please

    Looks like there might be an impression of a marine fossil on the surface of the smaller piece. So at a guess, I would say it might be a pillow basalt.

    Deus2: Unmasking & Deep Programs

    Tekkna is apparently best suited for heavily iron infested sites. It can pull some extra non-ferrous items out of heavy trash. Aluminum can be an issue, and I understand it may be better suited for the 9 inch rather than any larger coils. Of course higher recovery speeds used in target dense...

    Help identifying

    Hard to tell in this picture but my first guess would be limonite - a hydrated iron oxide.

    An odd mixture of items and help requested from Civil War ammunition buffs

    Thanks! My son was especially interested in the description of the Williams machine gun. With 65 1-pound balls per minute it would take a bit of iron to keep that thing stocked.
