I went out to a new site today. We had researched it and hit it hard today.

This is the result.

A 17th-18th century silver trade brooch. I am still speechless

Is that something Native Americans would of had? I have read accounts from my area in the early 1800's about settlers seeing some native americans with 50 or more " silver brooches" on them. One item I would love to find! What did that register as when you found it?

Absolutely stunning find DH! A find of a lifetime for me anyway! Given the history of the piece, it's significance to the history of the area, and it's rarity, I vote BANNER all day long.
