Great find flintlock. What group or tribe do you associate these with. I hunt a Kaw site and have only found one piece of silver. A lot of other adornments, just not silver. I had heard that the Kaw were very poor.

In the journals of George Catlin (the painter) he personally witnessed Fur Traders actively trading with the Indians in this area around the 1830's. Most things I find of fur trade are from this period but on occasion I will find objects that predate this by 50 to 100 years and I can only assume these were brought down from the Great Lakes region from the mid 18th century.
