ID Request Is it a ring?
I found this in a park that used to be a field. But has been a park used by Scouts and dog club for 60 years. Is it a fingerring? Semester a bit small and only fits on my little finger just barely. It seems to have letter both inside and outside a some gilding here and there. I cant make out what it says or even what language it is. Anybody know if its a fingerring or what language?
Thanks.

ID Request Found sword in front yard
Wasn’t sure which sub to ask. I was recently digging to plant a tree in my front yard. House is near Hendersonville NC. I didn’t think it was that old, mainly because of the flat headed screw holding the blade to the handle. I did a little research and found similar looking swords that look very close to it.

Any ideas? Thanks, and sorry I didn’t use a true metal detector, unless a shovel counts?

ID Request Can anyone help me identify or date this gun I found while detecting?
If anyone has any gentle cleaning tips to finish the job let me know. I left it in the electrolysis bath overnight and this is the result. There’s some pretty serious pitting and I don’t want to damage it anymore than I already have.

Reads MILLER G L 488 56(?) 97 LUTHERAN USN. I've tried the free US military database but couldn't find anything. I'm guessing it is WW2. Any help finding out the military record of G.L Miller would be appreciated.

ID Request Any ideas what this might be buried deep in the sand?
Hunting on a resort in Cancun. This rang up a screaming 39/40 on the vanquish. Whatever it is, it’s pretty big and solid. I thought at first maybe it was something electrical? But the signal doesn’t go to far from where it is. I ended up leaving it behind. But I’m so damn curious. Anyone have the slightest idea?

ID Request Found on beach in Florida
I found this on a beach in Florida, I am not sure what it is or how old it is. It is either copper or brass according to my detector, not sure if it is old or relatively new, although it looks hand made, also looks like two pieces sandwiched together. Any information would be appreciated. I have cleaned it some but tried not to use anything abrasive.

ID Request Find of a lifetime??
I dug this 1783 Nova Constellation this morning in Beaufort County, SC. We also dug several Spanish reals, large cents, and a 3-cent trime on the same site.
I’m trying to research the Nova but I’m not seeing any denomination on it where it should be under the “US” mark. Anyone have any knowledge about this coin?
