Tinkle cone?

[pepperj]

Going through past finds.
Field find, kind of flattened though it was originally cone shaped.
I've read where they were smaller in length.
Just wondering on this one.

Nice example of a tinkler.
We find trade era items in Nebraska mainly located on sites along the Platte river which was one of the major travel routes to the west.

I find the top 3 quite interesting as how they would have been used.
They remind me of 1000BC Tress/lock Rings finds that are recovered in England.

Yeah that's what that is. I didn't find them cause areas I looked over were from the Plains Village farmer area. Those came into use a lot later, after trade with the Europeans and somebody thought of doing that in the 1800's. I can find them at modern day dance grounds.
