Trade Items

Even though I've been down I just can't help myself when I see fresh dirt especially in area's that I know was a historic contact area. I have been able to pick up some nice trade pieces.

What are the deals along the bottom? Are they like a thick brass material?

Copper beads

Anything like this? It came from a trade site, been between a bead or maybe part of a vent for a flintlock but I’ve never known. I hit it with a wire brush before I knew I was on a trade site, it was green…. I see you’ve got some rings like I’ve found too, but I haven’t been lucky enough to find anything earrings like you’ve got, those are textbook trade items

I have found things in a driving rainstorm with my boots filling with water as it wicks down my pant legs in winter gales with 50 MPH gusts along the coast. If you have the itch, you have to scratch.

The beads I found are round like berrys with hole through the center.
