Silver trade cross and tinkler action

[recondigger]

Just got home had a couple hours before school ended so a buddy and I went out swinging. Site goes back to atleast 1600. Found an awesome silver cross and a thimble tinkler round balls etc. The little buckle im not sure of. Its brass but pretty lightly built for horse tack I would think could be wrong. It kind of reminds me of a sling buckle. And maybe lead false teeth? If that a thing.

This isn't a today's find but I'm throwing it in because I forgot to post it last week

Please repost the cross once you get it straight and grats on the keepers.

Well I dug it on a Seneca site that has produced many native artifacts. It is not near any modern 1800-2020 it was a Seneca fort. This was found very close to the cross not to long ago.

Congrats on the Fur Trade silver cross, a real fine example.
It makes me wonder why it was so bent up as it was?

Oh a piece of Fur Trade silver is still on the want list-some badly I might add.
