Nice finds. Is that a archaic copper piece I see at the bottom. Is it a roll piece one large piece, looms like side handle from a crescent knife? . Also the point on the left. It looks like a knife turned point? I have found one before so just wondering.

Well, you going to tell us the story of the finds? Nice stuff btw.

well, I ain't saying you is wrong, but there 'taint nothing better then chicken fried in bacon grease, unless it's maybe chicken & greens cooked with bacon. with biscuits & honey better for dessert.
Nice finds by the way.

Yes its native copper.also the two beads at top are as well. sorry thats a crappy pic I was in a hurry. that brass scabbard tip bottom right had the knife tip in it. and the point is a point. at first I thought it was a piece of sissors because the base is offset from the tip.
