Hi I found this strange metal object in a field near my home.  I have no idea what it is and would love to hear back from anyone that might have a clue.  The area is an old encampment for freed slaves. 

I found this in Dallas, Ga. while hunting on private property. The brass ring on the shot makes it different than any others I have found,

I was relic hunting in New Hope area and came across a steel item that looks like a sword hanger for a belt. my concern is that most of these were made of brass and this one is steel. There are no visible markings as the steel has rusted. Any help would be appreciated.

HI, My name is Kevin Maloney, I recently aquired a U.S.calvary horses bit that is in excellent condition. The stamped side says Rogue Island. I am interested in selling this item but I would like to find out more about the exact date of manufacture and what branch of calvary it was issued to. There is no rust at all and still has original coating. I found it in an old desk I purchased. The desk is hand made and is dated from the early 1800's    I will attach pictures and hope thatr you can assist me in identifying this bit.

What is it?  It is made of iron and is 9" long.  The base block is 2"X2".  It has beveled sides.  It weighs 5 lbs.  It was found at an old home site where several Civil War artifacts were unearthed.

                  This item was found on Perryville battle field private property. The end is hollow as if it mounted on something.  It is approximately 4 inches long. Thanks

I found this 8 pounder cannon ball in my yard which is old farm land on the west side of Lawrence, Kansas. I'm thinking it's from the Quantrill's Raiders or Civil War time period. I'd like to have it difused but don't know who I can take it to. A local bomb squad officer said if he looked at it and determined it was a live shell he'd have to confiscate it to destroy. Is there anyone in this area?

Can anyone ID this minie ball that dug at Vicksburg about 20 years ago?
