Now THAT'S a crotal bell !!!!!!!!! Video Update for Cynangyl

While swinging with brother Bill (willybgood) and his SE and me with a DFX you just never know what's gonna turn up ;D
We probably spent 8 hours of swingin yesterday spread out between a schoolhouse site,a couple of cellarholes and a local park. Bill got a nice 1899 Barber dime,a couple of mercs and some wheaties. No silver for me but i managed a few wheaties and misc relics but the outstanding find of the day was willybgood's bruiser of a crotal bell!!
It's all intact,measures a full three inches across and after a good flush with the garden hose it still rings!! It's gotta deep tone to it kinda like a cow bell.

Here's an overview of my finds plus Bill's crotal bell

A group shot with my other crotal bells. To the right of it are numbers 7 and 8 bells,it's real faint but this big one appears to have a number 11 on the bottom.

Nice finds Jerry,

My brother found the part to one last weekend at one of our cellar hole sites. They are huge. Now how could you loose a whole one of those.

They are nice to find also. Looks like your at a early site.

You know Jer,my brother asked that very question just minutes after he dug it up. "how the heck do you lose something that big?" I guess its even more amazing that the horses or cows? didn't step on it after it fell off of the harness
