I wouldn't limit the new forum to any specific geographic area of North America.........
Folks back then kept their tools and belongings for many more years than the disposable society we have been accustomed to. Items were cared for and repaired when necessary. Those items were transported from east to west as the nation grew and are likely to be found in many areas of the country towards the Ohio Valley and Mississippi River frontiers and, possibly, beyond.............
Thanks for chiming in Chizzy. I don't think anybody here mentioned limiting the geographical area of the finds. And you're right, things were kept and reused, and some did travel. Some colonial item were used and reused well past the era.
