Finding a Crotal Bell has been on my bucket list since I began metal detecting. After three long years, I've finally found one. It dates from the 16th to 17th Century and I'm so happy! And to think I found it on Friday the 13th!

Very NICE bell ! I found my first one when I got started, fully intact and ringing after all the mud was washed out. 2" A big one like yours.
The next year I found a little one about 1" and ringing too ! Great find ! Thanks for sharing. Love those crotal bells !
