Wait...What in the pic is a 'tinkler'??

Nice Indian trade artifacts. The tinklers are the cone shaped brass tubes in the upper left corner of the one pic.

Used glass for stones...

That's not a trade item there, very old and cool though...

Often called kettle trade point, definitely a trade era item...

I neglected to post any pics of the jewelry found as I really was not sure if it was from the same period...I defer to the expertsView attachment 1445763

All the non fancy stuff top right is trade silver (earring parts), as well as the brooches bottom left, some of which look to be missing the pin...

That ring (blue glass stones) looks like trade era too..

Looks like a ridiculous awesome spot!

Congrats on all of it!!

nice! congrats!

 

[Silver Tree Chaser]

Wow! I don't know much about trade silver, but you have some excellent finds coming off a very productive site. It appears that some Victorian Period jewelry is in the mix, but you have some fantastic early finds as well. Please take the time to identify all that you have recovered. Very impressive.

H, You have a silver reproduction in an english style of the famous irish treasure known as the Tara Broach . Very fashionable in the late 19h century and the symbol of freedom during the Irish Civil war . T.P
