Ohio Fur Trade Finds...

[Swartzie]

Thought I'd share some of my mid 1700's fur trade finds from this year. Hopefully, I'll have more to add to the collection before the year is up. All items were found along the Tuscarawas river in Ohio.

I know nothing about buying/selling. I just collect what I find. However, I don't think they would sell by weight or anything like that. Most the value would be historical interest of the buyer. The book "Indian Trade Relics" by Hothem has values on items in the book.
