So back in the summer I had decided to do some caving. I hop out the car at black cat cave and noticed a huge gate blocking the entrance. I left and found another to explore. No plans or ideas in mind just basically sight seeing. A good ways in something in the gravel wash immediately caught my eye. With years and years of metal detecting one can't help but spot that patina. I picked up a copper trade bell. Imagine the disbelief of finding one in near perfect shape. I've only seen pictures of them and even then they were bent,busted or broken. So what do I do next, I start looking. A few feet away in the same wash was a tubular bone bead. In the same area I also found two fossilized animal teeth. There's also a clay tube bead I found yet I can't remember where I put it . The bell is about 1/2, 3/4 if you add the part that it hangs by.
