You can't say that! 
My father has.... I don't know what it's called. It looks like a donut, carved out of stone. Apparently, the native Americans would roll it along the ground and try to score a ringer on it, putting an arrow or spear right through the center - about the size of a quarter. |

My father is a HUGE collector of ancient artifacts. I'm just getting started. The coins are really worn down, you can barely read ther them. I've been meaning to photograph the Gris, it lives in dad's big ass safe. I'll drag out my D300 and take some decent pics when I get to his place later this week. |

Decent ones can be had for a fair price, if you look. 
The sad truth is that, just as metal detectors became affordable, people stopped giving a damn about the past. So, it made relics like 12# cannonballs affordable for those of us who care. Pictures of the Gris would be amazing!

Oldest manmade object I have is a sword from the Civil War. It's a simple NCO sword that a Union distant great great great great grandfather carried.

US Model 1816 flintlock musket, converted to percussion, that was carried by my great-grandfather during the War for Southern Independence. He was a 16-year-old guard at the POW camp in Florence, SC, and when the war ended he (and his father, who was in the same company) walked on home with their guns. I got it from my grandmother (it was her father's) in 1967. I have no children, so don't know who I'll leave it to....maybe a cousin.

It is forbidden to buy and sell the holy relics of the saints, otherwise I would have a bunch.
If anyone has any and doesn't know what to do with them I will pay shipping.

Don't know if you'd call these relics, but my thread about my Grandfather has lots of items from mid-century.
Other than that, I have some grapeshot I bought from a store in Gettysburg back in the early 1980's. No idea if it really came off the battlefield or the tourist trap just found a ringer for me. Nothing really older than that. |

Over the last couple years or so I've been on a frenzy collecting WWII fighter plane parts. I now have a number pieces; such a tachometer from a BF-109 and landing flap from of a FW-190. I've also been collecting signatures from various aces including Erich Hartmann, Adolf Galland and Walter Loos.

Here are a few pics of the sword:
The second one shows C.ROBY CHELMSFORD on the ricasso referring to sword maker Christopher Roby. He made a lot of swords for the union. Given my relative's wounding at the battle of Shiloh, and the years Roby made that model of sword, my example was probably made in 1860 or 1861. The blade is blunt, but rings like a bell when you tap it with something hard. It's good steel. I guess if the SHTF, I could sharpen that bitch and have a pretty good weapon. The scabbard was cut down so it doesn't cover the entire blade. There's a bit of rust on the exposed bit. I might someday look around to see if I can find a replacement, then build some manner of mount to hang it on the wall. |

I have a collection of US Coins with some that are 100+ years old.
There's also an Springfield 1903 somewhere in my family that was used at the battle of Guadalcanal. I've had the privilege of putting a few rounds through it.

I have boxes of fossil sharks teeth, most of them megalodon.
This is a medium sized one. My biggest is nearly 7.5" diagonal. 
Fossil whale bones with megalodon teeth marks in them. I also have stuff like sloth and mammoth teeth from my fossil hunts. I have a box of arrowheads and spear points with a smattering of other native artifacts (cutting stones, ax heads, etc...) |
