Short hunt found a few goodies...

[abucooche]

Hunting my same honey hole , it’s always fun! Found a thimble, musket ball, piece of a serpent side plate, and NO clue what the silver square with a hole is?? Any ideas? It was found was all my other trade fur items.. I know it was cut and used as jewelry or something. Never found one of these so any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm sure you already know that the thimble was drilled & used as a "tinkler". I'm not sure what your square piece was cut from, but you are probably correct that it was used as jewelry..........
Anyway, that's a nice bunch of finds! Congrat's!!
