I love that bell!! Yes - we found two watch winders...I really like them a lot and lately we have found quite a few, some very ornate, some more plain, but all beautiful. Thank you for watching and happy hunting!!

Yea I like finding Bells as much as finding the 18th Century Coins :thumbsup:
They are both about as rare for me to find.

And when I clean a Bell out and hear it ring for the first time in over a Century,
that is Sooooo Awesome :laughing7:

Soooo EXCITING to watch the enthusiasm you show in you videos! Especially when you find a bell!!
Do you suppose that schoolmarm used the bell to bring her children in from recess, or at the start of the day's class...?!

Hi! Thank you!! I don't think it's a school bell, but rather one that was mounted on a horse-drawn carriage....but who knows! It's an exciting thought that it was used to call the children back in...really makes history come alive, doesn't it? At Christmas time it will hang over my fireplace, along with all the others. Thank you very much for watching and happy hunting!
