17th century trade site finds & mystery button???

[sscindercoop]

The site dates to the 1630s The button is lead and has some sort of an A symbol hammered in to the shank?? i also found the kettle points, pendant, brass bead and all other finds pictured at this site. Thanks for looking HH

I guess it makes more since it being a lead seal but at first glance i thought button. Does anyone have any info on 17th century seals? The first guy to trade at this site was dutch

They are basically projectile points, arrowheads made from broken pieces of brass trade kettles
