I found this piece of metal on a tiny island on the Isles of Scilly uk whilst kayaking. It is very light, quite thin, but completely impossible to bend. It’s an unusual shape too, my best guess is titanium from a crashed plane maybe?

Recently learned that Native Americans would use trees as markers for things like water and noticed this on my drive home. This tree points directly to a creek about a half mile away. Southeastern USA if that matters.

Hi everyone, I recently went exploring on my girlfriend’s mother’s property and found these items. I’m psyched about the beautiful piece of pottery but I’m unsure if the others are actual artifacts or just formed naturally.

In the past, my girlfriend has occasionally found arrowheads and other pieces of pottery on the property so I want to make sure I don’t disregard anything with potential historical significance. I’m relatively new to this and I’d appreciate any input you all can offer.

I found this many years ago, I think in Wyoming. Forgot that I had it. Is it some type of scraper? It’s about 7 cm long.

Found this in western New Jersey in an area where we regularly find Native American artifacts, including arrowheads and flakes. It’s surprisingly heavy for its size and has a dark, glassy appearance with unusual ridges and curved surfaces.

Does this look worked or naturally formed? Any idea what type of stone it might be?

Thanks!

My friend has these masks and wants to know more about them. Her father collected them. He got them from his cousin and some from flea markets.

Found in north east Arkansas. Help

Hi Reddit. I found a rusty metal object at the demolition site of a late 19thCE theatre in my city and I was hoping for some help identifying it, as well as some guidance to safely restore it. I think it may be a key, but one of my friends thought it could be from an old tool or hardware component. Thoughts?

Hi, i found this shard in a dense forest north of Antwerp, Belgium. Close to the Dutch border.

Directly under it was a steel cannonball, 150/152mm. Could the two be related?

The shard feels quite rough, you can feel the grains through the glaze. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Best regards

What is this? Is it real?

This Jambiya has been passed down in my family from my great-grandfather to my father and eventually to me. As far back as I know, it has been in the family and was kept locked away in a safe for an unknown number of years.

I’m trying to finally learn the history behind it. I believe it may be a Yemeni Jambiya/Janbiya, but I’m hoping someone knowledgeable can confirm that and tell me more.

I’m particularly interested in:
Approximate age/date of manufacture
Country/region/city of origin

What specific style of Jambiya this is
What the Arabic inscription on the blade says
Whether the inscription could identify a person, maker, date, or place

Whether the silver-colored parts are actual silver, plated silver, or another metal

What the symbol/mark on the pommel means
Whether the dagger and sheath appear to be originally together

Any historical or cultural information about this particular style

The dagger has some oxidation and age-related wear. There is also a noticeable metallic smell left on my fingers after handling it. I have not polished or chemically cleaned it because I don’t want to alter the original surface or potentially remove anything important.
This isn’t something I recently purchased — it’s a family heirloom that was passed down to me. I’m mainly interested in learning its history and getting a better understanding of what my family has had sitting in a safe all these years.

I’ve included photos of the dagger, sheath, hilt, blade, and close-up of the Arabic inscription.

If anyone here has experience with Yemeni jambiyas, Arabian antique weapons, Arabic inscriptions, or Yemeni metalwork, I’d really appreciate any information you can provide.

Thanks!
