Great find, Woody, and the kind that we need to see if things like this bead are to ever be firmly attached as an Earhart artifact.
Krystal has raised some good points that underscore how vital it is to ensure we don't labor under false provenance. I do have tremendous confidence in Dr. Tom King and know that he knows such things far better than I ever will - it is one reason that what he shares is so fascinating. What is very interesting to me is not an artifact here or there of interest so much as the pattern that emerges: so many little things that start to create a mosaic.
If one watches long enough, and is willing to step back to take in the whole of these things, then a certain statistical significance seems to emerge: how likely that so many pointers would lie in one encampment in this remote place? Coasties carrying compacts, etc. have all been suggested, but it seems to me that such a fact would have been noticed in that small colony and remarked on in time. There were other ladies - but how much time at that place, and with that much stuff, and stuff of north American origin?
Then take a walk on around the island, along the coral beaches - and come to the village... we have 2-2-V-1, and a sherd of plexiglass having the oddly same contour and thickness of that of the L10 windows (doesn't fit other known types in the region).
Take a deep breath and listen to the wind... I'm not telling anyone what to believe, they need to make up their own minds, but it is a very interesting picture.
I hope the bead takes us somewhere, just as I await the Wichita report on 2-2-V-1.
