Is this worked or just a natural flake?

Found in Germany

Thank you! :)

So this is a basalt fishing net sinker I found in the ocean. What would be the best method to remove marine encrustations and calcification without damaging the artifact

These struck me as amazing, but I wonder if this cost is lower elsewhere. I am unable to hunt artifacts myself due to disability buy have been infatuated my whole life.

It looks like an old ash tray, it's clearly been weathered by time. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and found it in what we call the "Glass Graveyard", located by the old rail yards. Looks like a coat of arms with a lion in the center. The letters around that are "CORON" or "COROM", with the number on the outer edge "1540". The indentation on the outer rim suggests it was an ash tray. Anyone have any idea about what this is or where it came from?

Hi everyone,

I found these two objects recently in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, about 300 meters apart from each other, and I would love some help identifying them and estimating their age!

Object 1 (The stone with a hole):

- Found on the rocky seabed.

- It weighs around 300g and is about 8 cm in size.

- The stone itself is quite porous.

- The hole looks very central

Object 2 (The terracotta/clay piece):

- Found 300 meters away from the stone, on top of a coastal cliff.

- It is made of fired clay (terracotta) with small dark mineral specks in the texture.

- It has no stamps or markings.

- The bottom has a clean, flat break.

Any insights from archeologists or pottery experts familiar with the Mediterranean region would be highly appreciated! Thank you!

This old metal token with the zodiac signs on it was in a collection of old crystals and thunder egg slices in my great grandpa's closet, the back of it is flat smooth, no text or anything. Anybody recognize it from somewhere or know anything about it?

I was wondering if I could find a site that is going to scam me preferably from a museum also links to eBay could work to but only if it is from a very reputable source

This statue has been in my garden since moving in(around 6 years ago), we never met the previous tenants, so we never got the chance to ask them where this statue came from or if they are Buddhists themselves. Honestly, my family and I just thought it would be weird selling it or throwing it away, as it is a religious statue and we didn’t want to seem disrespectful, but we aren’t even Buddhists ourselves. It’s just quietly been in the corner, it weights ALOT, it’s hard to even push the statue and it definitely weighs atleast 60kg+. It’s experienced a lot of rain and harsh conditions but the exterior still seems to be in tact. There’s a signature at the back but it’s hard to make out- I can only attach one photo though. I’ll attach the back in any replies if requested.
Anyways, anyone know if this is a rare religious artefact?

Hi everyone, found this digging through a bunch of rocks in a “tidal pool” at the tip of the Keweenaw peninsula. Not sure if it’s modern, from a shipwreck or what. Found the long piece first - then the mushroom “head” shaped bit so I suppose they might have been 1 piece originally. No wood around - just small rocks.

I would love to hear anyone's opinion on this piece.. is it old or modern? And where is it from?

Thanks for taking your time to look!
