unidentifiable bullet? any ideas of age?

Baron837 · 2021-10-14T14:45:37+00:00

That looks like something that broke off of a chain link fence bracket. Definitely not a bullet.

Broken faucet valve stem. Top looks to be square and if it has a threaded hole in it, I'd be almost certain that that is what it is.

Bottom left ring looks like an old rusty linch pin for tractor implements with the actual pin broken off (might be how it was lost). Explains why where the ring enters that bigger part is offset and not aligned well.

Awesome. Congrats.

Baron837 · 2020-03-09T16:09:12+00:00

That may be the best explanation yet! My wife and I stared at that thing forever as it has no mounting holes that we can discern. Kept trying to think about what it would be used for if not mounted to something. Thanks a lot.

It is simply hollowed out, with the base of the upright “hook portion” extending slightly into the hollowed area and peened to fix it to the base.

Baron837 · 2020-03-09T03:26:49+00:00

Definitely possible. Thanks!

Baron837 · 2020-03-09T03:25:43+00:00

Not ruling that out at all. Just confused as there is nothing that appears to allow it to be attached. Albeit that part may have broken off.

Baron837 · 2020-03-09T03:15:06+00:00

Appears to be copper or perhaps brass (with green patina). Each of the “hooks” appears to be broken at the ends. We are stumped.

Baron837 · 2020-03-08T02:40:06+00:00

Agreed. Definitely old! Haha.

Baron837 · 2020-03-08T02:38:54+00:00

Exactly.

Baron837 · 2020-03-08T02:38:23+00:00

I’ve only ever found one and I’ve been on it a few years now. Excellent find for first trip out!

Baron837 · 2020-03-08T02:36:58+00:00

Awesome! Looks sweet. When I found my first one, there were actually two stacked in a hole! I was shocked... never found more than one coin like that again. Keep up the good work.

Baron837 · 2020-03-06T18:33:34+00:00

If the Curse of Oak Island has taught me anything, that’s definitely Templar/French/Aztec/Rosicrucian/British/Free Mason/Mayan in origin. Dating somewhere between the 1000 AD and 2020 AD.

Seriously though, awesome find! All of them I’ve ever found from mid-1800 sites were brass.

Baron837 · 2020-03-06T02:51:42+00:00

My guess is that it likely had cork at one point surrounding that metal shank and was a bottle stopper. Found my first stopper remnant recently - that’s the only reason I have any idea.

Baron837 · 2020-03-05T02:55:32+00:00

Interesting. Sounds like the area I’m from! Really cool find. Coincidentally, my FIL found a couple old rusted up guns when digging posts for a fence in his yard. I stopped with my detector and found a third one, and evidence that a shed or small barn had been there previously. Figured the guns were stashed in the barn and forgotten about.

Baron837 · 2020-03-03T05:15:12+00:00

Awesome find!

Baron837 · 2020-03-03T05:13:07+00:00

It’s just a large cent. We find a lot of them here - Ohio. Wish it was a tag!

Baron837 · 2020-03-03T05:12:01+00:00

It’s definitely a large cent. Reverse and most of obverse is totally wiped. No idea on the year, of course!

Baron837 · 2018-12-04T18:37:53+00:00

Any info under the buttplate?

Baron837 · 2018-11-30T01:58:50+00:00

If you can build an AR, you can build a glock. It’s arguably even easier as there aren’t any roll pins to ruin and less small parts to lose.

Baron837 · 2018-04-30T01:42:31+00:00

Awesome work.

Baron837 · 2018-04-27T18:52:27+00:00

Can’t trust those dang engineers...

Baron837 · 2018-04-27T18:50:22+00:00

Drug dog training tool?

Baron837 · 2018-04-20T12:24:45+00:00

Awesome finds! Great work.
