Hello fellow hunters. Found the site while researching a recent find.
I'm lucky to live in Thunder Bay Ontario which is rich in fur trade history. I've been fortunate enough to have found many knives some with Cross L, Tools, buttons, jewelry , axe and hatchet heads.
Too many things to list. I find it difficult to find sources when researching. Even our local university has limited resources.
My most rescent find is a HB flat button that has writing on the back. Appears to be gilded.
It was the only one of the 5 I found In a 2 ft circle that had markings. I also found a copper spear head a few ft away ( a little deeper) but I know nothing about them.
My brother and friend have both found flintlock side lock assemblies. Serpent side lock bling and butt plate. I've just found a frisem pan and a few ram rod ferrules. Still searching.
Anyways a long introduction.
Thank you
