Found what looked to be a buried trunk or possibly just left in a house that was demolished umpteen years ago, found several brass brooches and women's belt buckles along with the corner of a trunk all in about a 4foot diameter circle. These beads kept showing up while chasing all the brass signals, at the time I just thought they were cool glass beads but my dad saw a picture of them and said they may be trade beads from as far back as the late 1600s/early 1700s. I know very little about trade beads and was wondering if anyone can possibly confirm or debunk that theory. Thanks in advance for any info.
