Trade bowl???

[daveinpa78]

Any ideas on this? Found deep in the mud in South Central PA. Appears to be brass?

More pictures might help in the I.D.

Must say... you found an interesting item none the less.

Nice... this IMO is a stellar find.
I will again say... you have found something VERY interesting... and will lean towards a trade bowl.

This may be Native American.

I am also already leaning towards a banner find even though the I.D. hangs in "limbo" presently.

Finds like this one interest me greatly and have a tendency to get my research juices flowing... SO...

LEt me poke around...

In the mean time... perhaps another member here can shed some light on your item.

Super cool find.

I think some wooden african bowls have simular markings at the top. Very cool bowl, I hope you get an ID. I bet that was a pretty solid signal. Congrats!

It hit 90 on the at pro. I thought it was an old pot that was worthless until i saw the designs carved into it. I think the deep mud and clay helped perserve it? .

Very nice find!

Bump to the thread...
as to keep this in "spotlight" in hopes of an I.D.

I have not had a chance yet to "get into" the research on this... yet.

Heck off a find, but im wanting to think its probably copper.

Copper or brass? No idea?
