There's a good reference book for identifying stuff. It's called "Indian Trade Relics" by Lar Hothem. There's also an awesome website with tons of fur trade trade stuff. Hats off to Bob for such an awesome display of finds. http://www.bobsphotogallery.com/gallery2/v/FurTrade/

You have found a dream site there. I was able to detect a Fur Trade site for about five years and it was the best detecting I've ever had. I never found a single coin there, but some buddies found a couple of Spanish silver there. Most would only dream of a site like that so have fun and look forward to seeing more of your finds.
