Went out yesterday to an old farm house with sister and found these two very rough ones. First is a crotal bell badly damaged #6, second a flattened indian head with a hole punctured in the middle, I can make out the 1--- on the date but thats not much to go on :D Well guess I'll go dodge sniper bulletts on the interstate today. Those shootings happened along the same route I travel to Louisville 4-times a week. The one on I-69 was about 20 miles from my house. :(

Good finds all the same.
Be careful on your drive to and from, and I hope they get the A$$&*@% that's doing it. That is one highly traveled highway.
Wasn't there one person killed just this week from a sniper on 69?

Keep your head down and your eyes open for anything suspicious.

Just saw where they arrested the suspected shooter - a 17-year-old. Maybe Clump will make it home ok.

Can someone tell me what a crotal bell is? Have seen it referenced twice this week, and that's a new one on me.

Thanks for the info in advance. -Noodle

i believe crotal bells were bells they put on livestock animals to be able to tell where they were.

I'm no genius... but I think the second date on that indian is either an 8 or a 9 ;) hahaha :)

Glad to hear the sniper didn't get you. It's scary knowing that sniper was sitting just 10min from my house on the interstate.

Thanks for all the reply's. No problems out on the road last night, also heard on the satellite radio that they got him and he confessed, also got the gun. Anyway, that's my second crotal bell in as many weeks. Never found one before that. Also I didn't mention that my sister found a real nice one just like the broken one about 10 feet from where I dug mine. Hey Brian, I think you might be right on the partial date ::)
