What a great hunt. One of these buttons is like a button inside of something. Never seen a button like that before. Also I noticed the coin has an offset die rotation from the front and back of it.

How does it compare to the 800? I've only had 2 detectors my entire life (Garrett Ace 400 and Equinox 800, my fave)

Btw congrats on the finds. Hard not to get jealous of east coast history.
Thanks. I went from the Garrett AT pro to equinox 900. I like them both but I like equinox 900 more. I don’t know how it compare to the 800.
 
I love the bell! I've found several pieces of that type of bell, but never a whole one. Awesome day!

Thats the second one I have found. I found another one like it in a different town a few years ago. This one looks nicer but does not have the clanker inside it.

Great finds and congrats to you from a nearby Mass hunter here. That round button is a ball button and the back mark piece has just separated a bit. Google zouave ball button. 1800's. WTG!

Thanks I have never seen one like it before I will look that up
 
Great day of digging. Congrats
The bell is top shelf for sure and having most of the silver wash intact is even better.
(I have dug over a 100 bells and only 4 of them were Conestoga bells)
Certainly a ball button, as we don't dig as many on this side of the pond it seems.
