So I had a little play time last week and decided to find new sites. The first site had the usual Tomback buttons, flat buttons and a really nice wax seal stamp. It's missing the best part: the Matrix. I'll have to do a little sifting and see if I can find it.
The next site had many early buttons, some early iron tools and a really rare 1600's Native American Pewter Pipe. Apparently, they were used by Native Americans from about 1645- 1680. These pipes were sacred to the Native Americans. So what could be better than finding a super rare base metal Native American trade pipe? Finding another one!

It's always great to write a reply-but one needs to hit the post reply.

Thats a great hunt!
Liking the seal and certainly I would be thinking about sifting some dirt as well.

The pipe will be on the top shelf for sure.
Congrats on the recoveries.
