Hi All,
Found this detecting out in the middle of nowhere, many miles from any town. Hit my ATMax pretty hard considering the small size, mid 60s. Was down 3-4” in wet sandy soil. Looked but didn’t find any other beads (metal or glass) in the area. In fact very quiet site, only other finds in the area were a shell casing. This bead appears to be made of brass. The inside is smooth.
So , what did I find? A fur trading bead? Something a hippie lost in a drug fueled quest ? Or is there no way of ever knowing?
Thanks in advance !
