Need help id'ing this item

I found this detecting today. Its a revolutionary war site. I haven't found any modern stuff in the area. This was 10" deep under a bunch of thick old roots. It's 4" x 1" and looks like it is missing links on either side. Any help would be appreciated.

This type of collar is nine bells are the steps to reach a holy place, each piece is a prayer and is part of many cultures, it is a very good piece, especially if instead of bone is a piece that has metal, which speaks of your life improvements and growth

I googled it and couldn't find anything. Is there any way you can find a link for me. Thanks!!!

Interesting piece whatever. all I can
guess is probably Not revolutionary war related.
if it was, He'd be the first one shot by his own Men


you can't sneak through the woods when you Jingle like tinker-bell

Could be Older & Trade Related though .

of course this is all conjecture

There were Narragansett Indians in the battle of the sight I'm digging. Its called the battle of Rhode Island. I know for a fact that they were in the area I'm digging.

They're called rolled copper Tinklers.
They are a native American artifact (historic) likely cut from copper kettles.
That's in amazing condition for dug copper hundreds of years old...I've never seen them dug still strung together.
Sounds like you knew what they were already with your last post

Thanks for the info. I've been researching them and can't find any that are in this condition or even chained together.

What a lucky day out. My buddy found a very old silver broach my guess is around the 1700's.

If you hadn't said 10" deep I would have asked if there were ever re-enactmens or pow wows at that place.
The way they are connected,the fact the thin copper isn't crushed flat and the lack of oxidation seems odd..at ten inches I'd expect them to be flatened
