Great site. Why the hawk bells? Did the trappers use falcons or something like that?

You might consider getting a Bobcat and setting up a sifter on that sight. Lovely relics and I also enjoy those type of finds. Historically relevant and totally cool. Can't wait until you bring us some more to see.

This will help explain the term, use, and history of the bells.

greats finds, the ring has that "I'm old look" and is simple as in the day. no telling what else you're gonna find there

I'll go with what Kurios said. I've never sifted a site before, but that site of your's is prime for it!

Holy crap you're fortunate!

Keep em coming!

The thought of getting a Bobcat back to this spot makes me chuckle... If you had to envision an area think of a spot surrounded by 50+ hills, surrounded by thick heavily woods, with streams and boulders. I have a hard time walking to it.
