Not much in finds today

[Old Dude]

Hi all. Cjon and I got out today for a permission trip that took us to the coldest spot in Pennsylania. Wasn't too bad today as we both like the cooler days of fall. As you can see from the pics, I didn't find much but it was still a good day to be out. 4 crotals, a little ornate lock cover, 3 extremely crusty wheats, some clad and miscellaneous farm iron and trash. All the crotals still ring btw....thought that was pretty cool.

Wow those bells cleaned up nice, wait til u see how my "strange" find cleaned up, working on my post shortly..........I'm on daddy duty at the moment lol

Hey bud those bells are true beauties! Those petal bells are awesome. Any makers mark on those? It would be down by the opening

 

[Greylock]

Those bells are always a great find. A few in one hunt is always that much better

 

[Garrett424]

Looks like a good hunt to me dude.

Congrats.

 

[Old Dude]

Thanks all! No maker's marks, Abe....just the sizes: 7,3, and 2 on the petals. Nothing at all on the oddball collar bell.

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Cool finds! I actually collect those lock plates and other misc hardware.

 

[WHADIFIND]

Maybe not a lot in quantity. But, give me just one of those and I'd call it a successful day!

Nice!

 

[CoinandRelicMan]

[Silver Searcher]

Your bells & lock plate are beauties - Congrats! Your so-so day would be my happy day, lol. Have Fun! Andi

 

[treblehunter]

Great finds Dave, I would love to find a complete bell like that, let alone four! I love ornate hardware like that too, I could never throw something like that in the trash.

 

[Old Dude]

It was really odd....I needed to change batteries in my pin pointer, so Chris came over to help and said " I think this is a bell" on the target I was trying to find in the hole. It turned out to be some gears for an old clock, but as soon as he went back to the front yard, my next 4 targets were the bells all scattered in about an 8 X 10 ft area. I hadn't found any of them until he said that.

Finding four in a day is a great day for bells, it's strange sometimes how this hobby works in finds. We seem to never dig a certain item then after mentioning it or finding one it seems that it open the flood gates.

Very cool..

 

[fliermartin]

Great finds. Its so cool I just found one of those crotal bells the other day at the park. only half of the bracket to connect it was broke off but it to still sounds great. I didn't know it was called a crotal bell so now I have a new story to tell the daughter.

 

[I-DIG-IT]

Nice digs.

 

[Carolina Tom]

Very nice finds OD. I have yet to find a crotal bell, so they look really good to me. Congrats.

 

[Zodiacdiverdave]
