Finally got back to the 1600’s

[VERMONTIS]

The weather is finally getting warmer and the frost in the ground is gone. I had a day off and decided to go to my favorite Indian site. This site is a Seneca site when trade began with Europeans. I got there and fired up my machine and ten feet from the truck I pulled my first brass ketal point! They were traded items like copper and brass cooking pots. When they wore out, they made jewelry and other items. Next was a musket ball and then here come the chips, so many chips! You have to dig them all because they ring up the same as a Jesuit Ring! I also found my first copper tube bead and some red glass beads. The next hit was a really cool button with a flower on it! A while later came another matching button. Two in one day from the 1600’s! Amazing! After about 5 hours my shoulder was getting tired. I dug over 100 holes and hear are the results.
Remember — dig it all and take the trash!!
Happy Hunting!

Been awhile cru, I miss spoke ,probably should had said Senaca fur trade items. These came from the awesome site that produced the 5 Jesuit rings last year! If you search on TN-got my fifth Jesuit ring today- you will see some of the pieces that are coming from this site.

Wonderful finds! I really really hope to find a kettle point some day. Fortunately I have learned early on what those are as I would have certainly thrown them away If I ever found one!
