Re: Beads and 1 Gary...

Its hard to tell from the pics, but I'd say those may be trade beads. The Titus area of N.E. Texas was sort of a "No Man's Land" between Spanish and French influence, so both Spanish and French beads made it out that way, however they seem to occur rarely. It was that area where Luis de Moscoso (De Soto's successor) finaly struck a deal with the local Nasoni cheif to just let him and his men be guided out of the area and they promised never to return, so those beads may be from that time period.

I found these near an old setler Trail crossing, back in the 60s my old man found a Spanyard Spurr near this spot..
could it be from the mosoco time frame??
