Hello,
Need some help identifying these few finds found today along the Susquehanna River by Long Level, all the way back into Wrightsville and on the Mason Dixon Trail, Pennsylvania.
First is a bullet/silver/junk? This was found about 5 1/2 inches down, what caught my attention the most was the orange pottery with a shiny piece on it. First off, I am a beginner at this so constructive criticism please. Obviously this stone was not what detected, it was the slug of something underneath it, lucky?
The slug does not react to magnet, it shows up as silver quarter on detector, reacts with small bubbles in hydrogen peroxide, melts ice immediately, somewhat malleable with a hammer but did not want to ruin it?
Second, the long rod one pointy end, and other flattened end for prying maybe?
Hopefully someone can help me with one, or all. Much appreciated, I did send pictures of the pottery piece or stone to the museum here at Indian Steps to get some possible insight.
Thank you!
