Hi,

I just put a photo of a a sheet copper artifact up on ArchaeoSeek ... 
Just look into the blog area for my posting and click-on design3.jpg.

http://archaeoseek.ning.com/

It is a small piece of sheet copper, maybe silver-plated, with three 
small stamped cartouches, including an anchor, a star, and an "eagle" 
...  Not sure about function but might be ramrod ferrule or similar 
artifact.  Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks.  Mark
