CELLAR HOLES*COPPER & BROKE A NICE CROTAL BELL :O(

saturdays hunt didn't yield very much.a silvered flat button no shank and a large victorian cherub button.some cool shaped mushrooms and a humongous tree!

Sundays hunt went with members from the friendly forum.tattou and fast frank and their freind Greg. alot of shell casings a small colonial shoe buckle frame,a 1831 matron head large cent,a few wheaties and clad and while digging a nice signal under a root i think my shovel tip went into the slot of the crotal bell without realizing it and while i was prying up i heard..TINK! too bad cuz it was a nice one.the other large piece was in another area and not from the same bell.same style and size.
a real nice hunt and a pleasure to finally meet those guys and do a hunt together.we got drenched in a downpour to end the day.

Dwayne, I was in upstate NY for 6 months finishing Nuclear prototype and it seemed like every site was pounded out and pounded out again :-\ After 30-40 hunts I ended up with 2 well-worn half reales and maybe 5 large cents. ::) I know what you mean unfortunately...

Anyway, nice hunt there HMN, you are among the best site-picture-takers on Tnet.. I love looking at your posts everytime just to see the nice stonework and gigantic trees :headbang: :headbang: Keep adding the good stuff to the collection.. very nice buckle too

You always find the sweet spot at those cellar holes. I have all but given up on the ones arround me. I mainly concentrate on the older farms and the fields.
Do you think that you could super glue the bell back together :dontknow:

Too bad about the bell because it's pretty uncommon to find a big marked one like that. That having been said, better to smoke a bell than something..... good. ;D

Sorry about your bell. That's really a nice one. Hopefully, I'll be able to have it restored. I like the cherub button :icon_thumright:
