Are you sure that "bird band" is not an ear cuff. A little piece of jewelry that girls put on their ear, it slips on without a piercing. I just can't imagine anyone putting silver on a birds leg, and those bands usually have ID numbers on them, and are crimped all the way around.

It was suggested that those are not bird bands but pieces of jewelry known as, "ear cuffs"

I even love the 49 Washington quarter that I dug at the site I dig a 1787 mass cent lol. I even love those stupid old 1782 2 Reales and that damn broken 1739 pistareen.

Ha I do love the indian heads and they seem to hold up well. Great job on your recent ih finds. Did I miss your post? If so I apologize. But yes I am beyond spoiled up here where there's several sites that date back to the 1600s. We can only hunt the ground we've got my friend. And trust me a couple hundred extra years of settlement makes a HUGE difference

Nice finds. Bird bands will usually have a number on it registered to that particular bird. If its put on by the Dept. of Conservation, it will also have a phone number to call to give them the info, so they can track it.

Some pigeon bands are not numbered, but it doesn't really matter, i can't change the title. It's a ear cuff.
