Nice finds, I love those kettle points. The brass Jesus is very significant, the wooden cross deteriorated and may be part of a Rosary, it could be Jesuit as they were very active in your area. It is well worn, whoever had it handled it daily. I would definitely return to the site and look for more items. Please keep us informed!

What are the dimensions of those copper points? I only have one of those bird/squirrel killers but it was rolled up on impact with a tree? Very cool. Congrats

Hot Diggity, they are small.....I have not measured, but would say only about 5/8".

Rege-PA, Been back a few times and found lots of musketballs, a silver gun escutcheon, a jesuit ring, and some stone points / pottery, along with quite a bit of worked catlinite.
