You have a rather nice collection of beads. I see some Hudson Bay beads ( red with white centers, tubular shape), a nice assortment of Seed beads, and some Pony beads (ones just larger than the seed beads).

What period did they make the beads? My sites might be to old for them but I do like the ones you have found.

Hey rock... They call them trade beads because they were used as trade by Europeans that should give you some indication of the timeframe.
Great collection you have there I could see myself sifting through your property.
Metal detecting too

I added a couple more photos to my post . I string these up in the winter when raining or snowing to keep from getting bored when unable to hunt .
