any idea about this copper anchor button, its 1 cm wide.

Hello hmmm. Put that copper anchor button on a new "what is it" post and you should get an ID. Right now it kinda gets lost in the thread.

gets better, would you believe the mounds are, empty barrels, burried in beach shels? and i picked this rope up looking at my pictures.

It seems that I remember hearing that the 1715 Florida disaster survivors buried metal drums in the ground near the beach at their survivor campsite to hold or collect fresh water.

hmm.

Did you find those items anywhere near Fort Simpson or Prince Rupert Harbor?

If so, you may want to read up a little on the site that I posted earlier.

sorry bout that I'll post under hmmm , i did it because all the stuff i found came from the west coast. This creates a problem because the vikings never made it to the west coast, there for it discredits what i say. But because the stuff is overlaping history this will not work.

This was the post I was looking for as soon as I saw that cedar weaving. It is native american ..Quite common on the west coast. Cedar was used in large amounts for weaving textiles and making homes. Those natives were some smart folks...Cedar lasts for hundreds of years before rotting!

Yeah, that site covered the copper "armor" too. http://www.civilization.ca/tresors/treasure/233eng.html
That site pretty much convinces me that, yes, they are midden mounds, and the woven and copper items are of native origin.

 

[hmmm]

I have seen pictures of these coppers. this peice is very thin and shaped,It is made of woven ceder bark, and makes sence if a native wore it, he wove it. it was right beside the bronz spike. I wounder if the indians wore them in the 1700's, it was the only peice. The barrel straps are all around and there is lots of metal . hmmm

"Archaeologists always say leave it and we will eventually get to it",
tHE CANADAIN ARCH SYSTEM IS SO PATHETIC, I had a rcmp officer come talk to me about artifacts, she asked me when i first aproched the herritage branch, i said 1987, she says,"thats 20 years and they still have not sent any one to see what you found."
I have found 24 of the maquinna heads so far.

This is why i am doing a law suite, One is defamation case the other is failure of the bc government to look into one of the finds, statute of limitations does not apply.
