Another Jesuit Ring & A Bird Ring

[WawaDuane]

Went out today after a long bout with rain and fog...had a pretty good day.


A sunbaking tinkle cone.





Another Jesuit ring...think that's 10 now.




Lots of lead and a few musketballs...love those.




Long pin that says Toronto on it.




The pin is about 6 inches long.




Old copper.



More tinkle cones.



Not sure if these are rings, ear rings, nose rings...who knows?

Nice variety of finds. Love the Jesuit rings. Not sure why that Toronto pin is six inches long? Also what is a "tinkle" cone. Wind chime thingy?

The Natives used to put the tinkle cones on their clothes so they made noise when they danced. I have no idea why the pin was 6 inches long but I did poke myself with it in my finds bag...figures.

Nice hunt,Jesuit rings are very rare to find.
So rare in fact that most people don't even bother to put them on their bucket list.

Love the Jesuit rings! On my list!! The Maple Leaf piece is a Victorian ladies hat pin.
The cutout copper coin is maybe one of the George's?
