Update on Seneca Ring Site

[VERMONTIS]

It's cold and rainy here today. A couple of people asked if i would do a recap of this site. After emptying 20 some zip lock baggies I suddenly realized how much I actually found! So here we go. Glass trade beads that came from Europe in the 1600's - 68 and counting, 23 kettle points or triangle points, 6 different Jesuit trade rings,2 really nice gun flints a thimble and maybe a bracelet. Unfired musket balls and maybe a lead cross, 29 fired musket balls that might have been in the process of being melted down, a WHAT IS IT pile with a weird screw with no threads, over a 100 kettle chips where they were cutting up brass trade pots and making things such as kettle points or jewelry, etc. If I miss a chip it could be a ring! Dig everything! All in all a great site! I've only touched 10% of the 23 acre site and lost track of how many holes I dug! Enjoy!!!

Everything found was on private property with permission from the owner.

Great work Vermontis! Congrats!

I particularly like your your explaining about the Kettle Ponts, I'd never heard that. How do you suppose they cut the copper? The Jesuits had some faith!

Thanks for posting and best wishes!
