Trade Beads

[southfork]

I had these out so tried getting a decent photo with my phone all off our old homestead. My kids would pick these out of the mud after and during a rainstorm lol. I make my own cases to house my treasure's nice rainy day projects.

Nice collection of Trade Beads! I remember getting on my knees years ago in Tennessee picking up those beads. I'll get a picture of a few in soon.

Those are really special. I've never found a single bead.

Beautiful display of strands.

You have one special piece of property.
I have only seen one other collection as nice.
You certainly have raised some good eyes.

Query: Do you still find them after a rain?

No we sold that property I drive by there all the time and think about the old days. We still find a few on our place on occasion I have more strands in other cases.

Wonder if the other owners realize what is on the history that is on property?
Post up more photos when you get a chance.

I'm sure they are aware of the history of the property we sold to neighbors. Here's another frame with a few strands and points with some preforms maybe? This was a large village site our old house sat right on top anytime we did yard work or construction artifacts would show.

Very nice to see original artwork like that. Are they all glass beads?

Thanks about 99 percent are glass.
