Hi All again ..... My Second Post !!
I've noticed quite a few posts on this forum of trade items ! And I really wanted to post several photos of a silver crucifix I dug several years ago in the Mohawk valley near what was a British block house then rebuilt as a French & Indian war fort that was requested by the Mohawks to William Johnson.
Besides some trade silver I found alot of British relics and even trade beads and brass points.
I've added 4 photos to show detail and a beautiful design and after many attempts a closeup of the hallmark. Which appears to be either a flower shape or possibly a shell ? Dont know much about trade silver hallmarks so if any of you good people know I'd appreciate any information.
It is one of my most prized finds !
Thanks for looking
