This site gives up it's treasures grudgingly and exacts a toll on your body- difficult hunting terrain.
Starting at eleven o'clock, I feel pretty confident to say that I found my first trade earring, I guess with the ear wire long rusted out. The item to the right of it I have no clue as to what it is. Made of brass or bronze, I groped around to get it in my hands in the forest litter and mistaken it for part of an acorn and pinched it and broke a piece off. I cussed myself for about a minute. It has designs running around it. The horseshoe shaped object looks just like a miniature shoe but upon closer inspection seems to have been broke off on the longer end. Any suggestions on id?
At three o'clock, I can confidently say that is a jaw screw to a flintlock, refer to other pic, I was able to see slot on top and threads at bottom.
The bottom piece is iron and pointed at both ends. At first I thought it was a file that loggers left behind but I thought maybe a leather punch?
On down at five o'clock, this iron, cone shaped object with hole running through it, I don't know what it is.
Then coming on around at seven o'clock, a very much chewed musketball.
Then at nine o'clock, a very much deteriorated iron buckle. What kind of buckle is it?
And of course, dropped and fired balls and buck.
I dug 2 ax heads but are probably 19th or early 20th century, looking much like the ones of today.
But any help on id of the items in question would be appreciated.
Thanks,
