Ok What is it?

[Jonzer]

Another bottom of the box find.
I'm clueless as to what it might have been.
What ever it is, I wish I had the rest.

Maybe the base to a birdstone?

Its is the end of a hardstone bar amulet, very rare find, what county is it from?

 

[Jonzer]

Any pics of a hardstone or amulet?
I'm curious to see what a whole one looked like.
Found in Fulton County Illinois.

I'll get you some pictures asap

It's the end off a birdstone/bar weight. That's a cool piece.

Wow....I learned something.

I did some research and here is a link to what I found. It is a bit long but worth the read. You will find information on birdstones, bar amulets, gorgets.....and more.

Here is the link:
