Got over to a property that has been continuously lived in since the late 1700's.? It has been pretty sparse on coins.? Have only found early wheat cents, but some nice relics.? Today I found a really nice crotal bell of about 1 3/4 inches with the initials WB on the bottom and my first silver half.? A very nice 1951 Franklin.? Now if I can just find some nice older silver... Got to keep looking...Lance
Update: The Crotal bell is actually made by William Barton of East Hampton Connecticut around the early 1800's.? It is called a petal Bell due to the pattern on it, and is considered rare.? There is a great picture at
