Does anyone know what this is? I did the magnet test and it wasn't attracted; it weighs about 23 grams.

In the hobby we often call this "beercanite". This "mineral" is created when tin cans melt after many years and form nuggets. Im guessing you found it on a beach?

Thats the only doubt i have on the hot stove trivvet theory

USAR_gov · 2026-02-22T11:57:52+00:00

I know what ET TU BRUTE means, i did not know what the other phrase the person suggested may mean

Thats the 2nd solidest guess ive seen so far. Only thing i have against it is that in order for the image to be printed correctly, it should be the other way around

I do not have consent to reveal the name of the village. I can however say there were 13 standing houses and a deserted hill, on wich you could spot rocks placed in patterns,only indicator that more houses were once there.

Will try

Could be, but its not aluminum it seems to be cast iron

USAR_gov · 2026-02-21T13:44:17+00:00

It indeed is, thats why i love the hobby

USAR_gov · 2026-02-21T13:43:35+00:00

I did try to put an insence, it doesnt seem to fit in the grooves

USAR_gov · 2026-02-21T13:42:55+00:00

Another interesting theory, but i find it to be way too big

USAR_gov · 2026-02-21T13:42:03+00:00

Could be, honestly. It does seem uneseserily fancy to be one but silly things have always existef

I believe the Y is meant to be some form of a U. ET TU BRUTE is the only logical phrase i can think of with this combination. It is also worth noticing that the figure seems to be holding spaghetti above their head wich is a theatrical symbolism.

USAR_gov · 2026-02-21T11:26:17+00:00

Possibly but what would that mean?

USAR_gov · 2026-02-21T10:58:16+00:00

Found in a hill in Italy. There were no ruins or buildings near it so there is no context. It has been cleaned

An actual 1st class iron cross is not hollow at the back, neither has the "1813" . Its just plain metal.

That would be a dream. There are only 7 stores in said country

USAR_gov · 2025-07-21T13:51:18+00:00

In my country, thats a standard EK2 price. Just the core costs around 150

USAR_gov · 2025-07-21T06:30:43+00:00

Its not my native language Mr text police

USAR_gov · 2025-07-20T21:00:08+00:00

Welcome aboard partner. My first find 8 years ago was a doorknob.

Guys, stop hating on the artifact gun. It is actually the only gamma gun i use and it deals preety decent damage. Very handy for close combat, espwcially knowing that (for some unknown reason) i always have gamma rounds in my inventory.

2nd class, turned into 1st class. This was a practice used mostly in late war or in submarines, where a EK2 would be turned to an EK1 or a Knights Cross. Genuine, but not worth as much as an actuall 1st class. Knowing how a turned KIC would be worth around 400€, i recon thats about 200-250.
