After work hunt at work

[sugarquartz]

Had a chance yesterday to try my f75ltd in the grass lawn at work. After i was done for the day of course( would love to get paid to detect any day haha) didnt expect to find much as the emi is terrible there and is loaded with beer cans and tons of trash by the road. To start off i got a very solid 83 signal and what i thought was a holed large copper coin at first but turned out to be a id tag of some sort. I imagine Hall is the last name and Buffalo for Buffalo NY. Very cool whatever it is wish i knew more about it. Next was a strong 72 signal maybe 5 feet from the tag and pulled up a really nice complete crotal bell about 5 " deep. After a few pics i cleaned the dirt out from inside and rang it for its first time in about 200 years. It sure sounds good too!

Nice crotal bell! I only found one partial one, finding a complete one would be great! The tag is also very nice, looks to have some age.

Thank you coinman. This is my second complete one this year, got my first one last year with my old detector. So now i have 3 complete bells all different styles that all still ring! Now i am on the hunt for the large baseball sized ones out there my friends always find partial pieces of
