Some finds from late 2011...

[MarkDz]

Here are some of my better finds from what seems to be a 1700s Indian site here in NE Pennsylvania. It's a very modest collection but this stuff is VERY hard to come by in these parts!

Here are two trade points, some musket balls, some cut brass, trinkets... What looks like a lead phallic effigy (?!)... A big weird piece of copper, looks almost like a gorget or headpiece.

Any comments or info appreciated .

Nice finds Mark, Cannot help to much as or area has differnt stuff. Have seen some copper cut out like your first picture right top, That star thing looks neat. The round thing in first picture left bottom looks like maybe a pendant.
Top left brass or copper loop looks like what they made bracelets out off.
That decorative big copper looks like maybe a hat band.
Good finds. Sorry wasnt more help

Hi Steve... Thanks for the input. What sort of things are you finding where you are?

Nice Finds!

Thanks lrgcent

Here's another find from the spot, a crotal bell (or sleigh bell). It might not be related, but I've read about bells being a common trade item and this certainly is an old one.

The sheet copper looks like Hopewell culture.
