Hello all, I recently had an idea to arrange and take a photo of my coins and historical items from newest to oldest in the same photo, the dates range from 2025 to the formation of our solar system!
Format is left (more new) to right (older)
Any dates with / has various dates
M = million
B = billion
Non coin related items are
- 1912 Titanic deckchair piece (with coa and alot of authentication, can show more if you want :)
- 1863 bullet from battle of Gettysburg
- 1815 bullet/debris from battle of Waterloo
- mosquito in amber between 80-90 million years old
- 100 million year old sea urchin
- plant fossil
-2 aquatic fossils
- lunar meteorite 3.6-4.2 Billion years old
Campo del cielo meteorite which landed in Argentina between 4000/6000 years ago and is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old
I’m interested in learning more about the Titanic deckchair piece you have.
My Titanic piece is wood from an arm of a deckchair/sunbed, it was recovered by the Minia with 8 other body's, according to the COA it belonged to a museum at some point before being bought by a high end collector who cut it up into several hundred pieces to distribute, from what I've read online one of the other high end collectors who helped with the sale of this piece when it originally got put on the market, they also sell similar things from other wood pieces that was recovered as the Minia recovered alot of wood due to having a carpenter on board (or so I read), apparently also has a massive Titanic collection and with alot of items in museums.
If your interested i can try and find the reddit link where the collector confirms the product is real (not the one who signed the COA, but the person who helped with the sales)
That is amazing showing all that history, I would only try and find some Bronze Age pottery, a Mesolithic microlith and a Neanderthal chopper stone, a piece of Australopithecine tooth and remains of some proto mammal from the Oligocene or Miocene epoch, to bridge the gap between 400BC and 80 millions years ago. (Its a joke, I am sure bits of fossil hominids would invite legal attention).
Never done anything that ambitious, but always thought of arranging all my British coins in a timeline from 1254 to now.
In 2021 I tried to do something similar with my halfcrowns covering 350 years.
It's basically one of every coin I considered major in the period (I have many more now). The stack shows the edges from the hammered rough ones, to the inscribed milled ones and then factory made toothed ones from 1816 onwards and these pale up in 1920 with base silver and the cold grey of the post 1940s muck metal coins at the bottom.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

That’s really interesting, I actually ended up doing a bit of research on the Titanic deckchair wood pieces and the CS Minia after I made that post. The deckchairs were apparently thrown overboard to act as floatation devices, which is why pieces of wood were able to be recovered (didn’t go down with the wreck). Very impressive you have got provenance directly from a museum to go along with it, there are not many people that can say they have a piece of the Titanic!
My old mate has got a piece of coal recovered from the Titanic, I will try and get a photo of it if you’re interested in seeing it.
Awesome half crown timeline set as well by the way Moneytane, I can only imagine how it would look now with all of the new half crowns you have added to the collection over the years!
Thanks historynerd, that's a great post. I'm intrigued by the fossil aspect, as that was my late brother's interest in the late 50's and early 60's.
This is a card he had printed (at his expense) in 1964 at age 14.
He had set up an exhibit at a local private school (Mount Hermon), but was later destroyed by fire.
I still have a milk crate stored in the attic, which I'll take a look at, now you've piqued my interest.
Thank you for sharing this story about your late brother! I think its amazing he set up a exhibit, infact its something id love to do myself one day around something similar to my original post (just hopefully a larger scale)
Im glad my post made you want to take a look at your milk crate, I hope you enjoyed looking at it!

Im glad you like my post! I do very much want to fill that gap between 400BC and 80 million years ago as well as get more items from between 400-1000AD, since you made this post I have been looking at auctions from those time periods to fill the gaps but unfortunately for now they sit above my price range.
I love the half crowns, they are so interesting, I love the ones where it shows the edges, it just shows how far the production of coins has come.
You said you have more now, if you would want to do something like this again, id very much like to see it! Thank you for sharing

Yes! The pieces were most likely used as floatation devices, infact in Titanic (1997) you can see in some scenes where they threw them off, as it was just the arm of the deckchair found (which is where my piece is from) id assume it was under the stern when the ship split into two therefore crushing and breaking the chair which would explain its bad condition before being cut up into smaller pieces.
From what I remember about the museum, I believe it was the museum of Manitoba of where the collector and historian (Spencer Knarr) bought it from.
On the back of my piece there is the card from the company he used to seller the pieces (Titanicrelics.com) you can also look at their website although my piece isnt there anymore, and the COA signature from Spencer Knarr who made a post back in 2004 giving a link to his collection on encyclopedia titanica which you can search on Google.
I received with my Titanic piece, COA on the back of the card where the relic is, a separate COA, photos of the original piece before being cut up and more, id have tk track them down as they are all some where in my collection.
Id also be very interested in seeing your friends piece of coal from the Titanic!
P.S another thing alot of people cant say is they watched the Titanic movie with a piece of the Titanic and a piece of the moon at the same time haha.
Glad your interested in buying a piece of the Titanic too! I hope you are able to get one soon!
I'm impressed by your dedication to history and the preservation thereof.
I live in an area once controlled by the Iroquois, (Mohawk and Mohegan) prior to European contact.
Here is an item for your collection, which unfortunately I can't date.
It's a spear point found on the banks of the Susquehanna River near the Mohawk settlement at Unadilla NY.
No obligation on your part. I've been the recipient on so many occasions, it's a pleasure to pass stuff along. If interested private message your address.

Please continue!
I am extremely grateful for your kind words and your incredible offer! I will certainly private message you! I very much appreciate it, thank you so much!
That's a nice collection there! You managed to assemble a nice timeline display.
Where these fossils come from?
I think I recognize the Carboniferous fern fossil from some photos I saw recently, Mazon Creek right? What's the Silurian one, a crinoid?
For the gaps you want to fill, I think I can help you a little with some hints:
For your gap between 70 and 50 MYA (end Cretaceous and early Eocene) I can recommend getting mosasaur and shark teeth from Morocco, they can be inexpensive.
And for Ordovician and Devonian periods there are plenty of trilobite fossils. For the Jurassic you could try searching for ammonite shells.
For the 400-1000 AD gap, you could look for early byzantine coins.
Oliver, I'm using the public forum in the off chance someone might find it interesting.
I certainly do!
I've worked in museums over 50 years, and never paid much attention to Native culture, even though I've been surrounded by it. Iron is my thing.
I sent a photo of the point to couple of friends who specialize. This is what has come back so far:
- Both sources believe the material to be Knife River Flint from the Dakotas. This is a type of sedimentary chert formed from petrified grass. If so, it's a good tie-in with your fossils. It was apparently traded extensively amongst mid-west and Eastern tribes.
- Point type is Brewerton, or possibly Normanskill. Age is mid-late Archaic. It's hard to pinpoint, but my friend suggested 5000 to 4000 years ago.
My friend wanted to look at it, and I'm inclined to agree. I'll present future developments, if any.

Good luck searching for these gap fillers!
Thank you! I appreciate this alot!
The fern fossil is from France as far as I know, unfortunately i do not know where exactly in France. The person i bought it from didn't have much information on it but if you would like i can take clearer photos of it and the other piece i have and yes it is crinoid!
I agree, I believe shark and mosasaur teeth are the best and most inexpensive way to go regarding the gap, it shouldn't be to hard for me to find them as I live very close to Morocco (I can see it out my window across the sea). The sea urchin fossil was also found in Morocco I believe yet sold in Spain so they make their way over here often. I also do have some ammonite shells but I did not post here. If you'd be interested i can post them here.
I will definitely try to add some Byzantine empire coins from that era to my collection! I believe i can find some easy here. Thank you very much for your recommendations!

I must say im very impressed! Over 50 years working in museums sounds incredible, infact for me I want to create a privately owned museum, I believe i have some unique plans to make people feel connected to history, i mainly want to do this as people around my age like my twin brother sees my coins as “meaningless piece of metal” and id love for him to see my items in a very engaging environment and see the true weight of history, granted i cant force anyone to like it, but perhaps i can encourage more people who arent that interested to respect it more and perhaps help preserve it, if youd like to know then please let me know!
I honestly have not paid to much attention to native culture either until after Europeans arrived there so pre-European age i dont know alot about but id love in learn more about it and i definitely will now.
I think the material is quite incredible, i honestly had no idea petrified grass was a thing until now, the only one I knew about the petrified wood so im glad to be already learning new things! I believe its amazing about the trade history, it adds alot to its story and for me I love the story of a historic artifact. Although I cant know the story for most historic artifacts, having them in your hands makes me feel connected with their story in a way, thinking about the hands that held it and their emotions, for example for this piece it maybe helped someone feel more protected at night having something sharp to defend themselves with, for a coin maybe it helped someone buy food for the week. I own a book from the 1910s, i believe if I remember correctly its a Soul of a Bishop by H.G Wells and written inside it is “To aunt Eva, Xmas 1919” holding that book knowing she read it and was probably very happy to receive it yet also knowing she lived a life time before i even recevied that book and has most likely been gone for a long time yet the memory of Christmas 1919 and herself is remebered by history because of that book.
I will definitely have to study more about point types as you've made me very interested in the natives! It's very old, im quite amazed how good condition it is in for its age and its a beautiful piece of history!
If your friend finds something new about it please share it as im very interested to know!

You're welcome, and good luck on your search.
A few more fossils and you'll be closer to getting one of each main period from Cambrian till now.

Surely I would like to see your shells, but it doesn't need to be today. It can be later, after upgrading your timeline display with the gaps closed.
I checked out your Mexican amber piece, its incredible! Its cool to think that little ant lived so many million years ago yet we can still see what it looks like to this day.
Ive been searching Ebay and I have found something from cambrian but I forgot what it was and will need to have another look at it. I will aim to upgrade my collection, I am fully serious about having a mini museum one day and hopefully after that a bigger one! I guess great things take time.

Thanks for showing me your piece!
That's really nice, your mini-museum idea.
I want to see this idea going forward.
There's a fossil store that I like browsing and seeing the new things that arrive there, it have a high reputation in the area: https://www.fossilera.com/
I never bought something from there (international shipping and all the stuff), but there's some inexpensive itens there. Have fun browsing it.
If its too hard to find a Byzantine coin, a good substitute is a Ummayadd or Abbasid silver dirham. These coins mostly date from the 8th and 9th centuries AD and they are relatively cheap (Change from a $50 usually).
This is my one and I paid around NZ$50 for it, we have nearly confirmed it as dating from around AH200 or 810AD a perfect bridge between an early medieval coin and a late Roman copper coin.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Hello all, I recently had an idea to arrange and take a photo of my coins and historical items from newest to oldest in the same photo, the dates range from 2025 to the formation of our solar system!
Format is left (more new) to right (older)
Any dates with / has various dates
M = million
B = billion
Non coin related items are
- 1912 Titanic deckchair piece (with coa and alot of authentication, can show more if you want :)
- 1863 bullet from battle of Gettysburg
- 1815 bullet/debris from battle of Waterloo
- mosquito in amber between 80-90 million years old
- 100 million year old sea urchin
- plant fossil
-2 aquatic fossils
- lunar meteorite 3.6-4.2 Billion years old
Campo del cielo meteorite which landed in Argentina between 4000/6000 years ago and is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old
Hope you all like my collection here!
Wow… very interesting collection.
“Arise, awake, stop not until your goal is achieved.”
I hope I can represent the sentiments of all who have responded to this thread; and that is that you are a rare breed amongst the younger generations. Please continue!
No further information as yet on the stone point.
I have an addition : nothing special. I'll let you do the research. For me, that has always been the most rewarding.
On second thought, I might present it here if Giobruno wants to offer an opinion.
Thanks Giobruno, these photos have not done what I wanted. Again, nothing special. I believe this is a braceopod, quite common in my area. The only anomaly is that it's whole, and not imbedded in stone.
This is for TheHistoryNerd's collection. Any information you can provide will benefit us both!
I live near Sharon Springs, NY, which was once under a shallow sea. The most common fossils I find are coral, shells, and crinoid stem sections. I've found exactly one trilobite; very large, in a type of stone not usually associated with fossils.

Thats an incredible coin, I'l definitely look there to close the gap in my collection, I believe these coins are quite common in my area as ive seen them in various coin shops, although i do not have one yet, im considering visiting a coin shop soon so i will let you know if i can spot it

Thank you so much for your kind words! Ive always tried to learn more history at every chance I get, infact when i was about 13 or 14 i was offered 2 job opportunities in coin shops but was unable to accept as the jobs were not in the country I lived in
History is very much what id love to spend my life doing, i also try do research on unfound shipwrecks, I infact have a pretty good idea of a location for the Reina Regente wreck but the Spanish minster of culture and tourism never replied to my email.

You are so kind! I cannot thank you enough for this offer, ill research it and let you know what I find! It is a beautiful piece of history, ive always loved places that millions of years ago were once oceans, indeed today I was at a zoo today with my mother and brother and there were hundreds of broken shell fragments which I identified to be very old as the zoo was a few miles away from the sea. Being able to find fossils as you can sounds incredible, ive always seen videos like it on YouTube and one day id love to have a fossil hunting trip.
Thank you so much again! You are so kind and I must say these kind words from you and everyone on this thread is encouraging me to go all in on my dreams of owning a privately museum. I promise all on this thread ill try my hardest to make it reality.
Wanted to show everyone some new additions ive bought, i wanted to add some variety to my collection as its mainly coins and althought coins are incredibly intresting and i personally could look at them all day, if i want to make people more intrested in history i should definitely spice things up
The photos below in order are
A 36 million year old shark tooth (to help close the gap between 3000BC and 80 million years ago)
A crocodile bone from the late Cretaceous found in Morocco
A Sikhote-Alin iron meteorite which landed on earth in February of 1947 in Russia (USSR) and I believe it also comes with the soviet post stamp they made in 1957 using art work of someone who saw the impact.
A 15th century medieval military horse spur, the seller (from Germany) says in the description it is from Germany so id assume its from the Holy Roman Empire
A mundrabilla iron meteorite found in Australia in 1911 (also in 1966 but according to seller who is a member of the IMCA it was found in 1911 which i did some research and it turns out a group of railway workers made the discovery.)
Finally, not a new addition and have owned it for about 2 years but its the entry page of a 1917 copy of “The Soul of a Bishop” by HG Wells
Is this a disk-shaped slice cut from the coal pieces found there, right? Just asking how it was put inside the capsule.
Yes you are correct. from what I can see online, RMS Titanic Inc. recovered pieces of coal from around the wreck site in 1994 during their ‘research & recovery’ expedition, and sold them off as souvenirs to fund future expeditions. It looks like there were some cut into disc shapes like this one, but you can also get some more ‘natural’, uncut ones.
Here is a link to the company if you are interested in buying a piece:
I want to write something that passed on my mind earlier.
You don't have anything from Ordovician. For moroccan trilobites, there's the ones from Fezouata formation (early ordovician) and the ones from late ordovician. The ones from late ordovician called Flexycalymene ouzregui (or Colpocoryphe grandis, they're very similar) are not expensive, you easily go at them.
I recommend getting one of these late ordovician trilobites not only because they're cheap, but for your mini-museum to display one of the most alien-like periods of the Earth, what I call the “ring period”, when we had a ring at our orbit.
Can you imagine the scene? A sea full of strange creatures (but not as strange as the cambrian ones), a land completely devoid of plants (except a few mosses near water) and animals (perhaps one or another arthopod), and a ring in the sky.

This is a new thing, it was theorized last year.
Thanks for letting me know all this! Ill look into it for sure, the scene that you set sounds intresting and definitely would be good for a mini museum.

Thank you!
You're welcome.
Here are the original university press release and scientific article:
Other exotic periods for you to give a look and be amazed are the “Purple Earth” , “Turquoise Earth” and “Red Earth”, periods where the oceans could have been purple, turquoise and red instead of the blue we know, billions of years ago. For the Red Earth period you could look for pieces of banded iron formations for your display.

Last we heard, you were headed to the UK, and then on to Turkey. How are things going? I really envy your ability to do this. I'd like to hear of your adventures, with maybe a photo or two?
For myself in the US, I've never managed to get beyond Canada, though some of my best years were spent on Cape Breton Island.
For my update, the good news is that I finally got around to sending the package with the spear point and fossil. The bad news is that apparently your parents will have to pay a hefty fee (US $18.) When asked the clerk responded "Trump tariffs).
I have additional information on the spear point, but will wait to see if you receive it or not.

Hi Paul
Unfortunately my move to Turkey has been delayed maybe for quite awhile but ill be moving to the UK and visiting Turkey in October with the possibility of moving to Turkey in mid October to November depending on rent prices. For now I am still in Spain and will stay here until my dad's birthday in a few days so me and my family can celebrate together.
I have been trying to keep busy In Spain and I'm trying to come up with some business ideas for myself. I also did attend a football/soccer match in Sevilla with my dad for the LaLiga game Sevilla vs Elche. I will attach a photo below.
Canada is an amazing country, id love to take my girlfriend there one day as she wants to visit, I'll have to Google Cape Breton Island. I am very lucky to have traveled to alot of places especially around Europe however I believe if I were in the US i'd travel around all the states to instead of other countries as its such a big country. I once saw a video online and these people were driving on the same road for 9 hours in Texas which for me made me realise how big the US really is as I can drive from my house to Lisbon, Portugal in about 6 hours which I have done twice.
Thank you very much for sending it! I appreciate it alot and no worries about the tariffs I can afford that luckily, i will let you know when I receive it.
I will now attach that photo from the football/soccer game
Thanks for the photos! My traveling days are over, but I can still enjoy vicariously. Anything with museums? I know photos are sometimes not allowed, but entrances should be.
At any rate, you could identify yourself, and interests. It's my experience that curators love to communicate with like-minded souls.

Id love to visit some museums, unfortunately for me, there aren't really any good ones nearby and I can't easily get to any. I will try when I live closer to some which will hopefully be soon
