[NEZPERCE]

I've been metal detecting on our farm up on the reservation . I have found some tokens that the Nez Perce had used in the area.
I was hoping there would be a book that would me identify them and get a better idea where they came from.

I Didn't see any books on tokens. I will see if I can find one at some on line sites. I have some early Metal Detecting books I picked up years ago in Dayton Wa. Has some early detectors articles and lots of early pics plus a few hand drawn maps for gold locations for prospecting.

I have two tokens that I found on our farm. Look like trade tokens. Locals said the tribe would use the spring just down the hill from our shop and equipment building. I think they were used when the Tinker would come by to trade. Trying to see if the are worth keeping.
Thanks Mike

Good luck to all,
