The old girl didn't want to give anything up today. A button and a bell clapper. Cool thing is awhile back I found an animal bell with no clapper, now it will be complete. Good luck to all. Art

Like the bell, cool finds. Keep swinging!
 
Nice bell Ive found two always wonder if they were like animal bells or ?????Great job!!!!
 
I have still to find one. Last time I went out, thought I had one but it was a brass rein guide and a toasted copper. Lots of rain this coming weekend here and my field had been cut, so will try again tomorrow. Are they usually made of brass? So it should give a high pitch sound I assume, don't know. ;)

You're putting that history puzzle together one piece at a time, art..........congrats on a good hunt!!
 
Sweet finds Art, Bells are always fun to dig and look great in a display.
 
WTG, Art! I suppose there's no way of knowing whether the clapper and bell go together naturally, huh? Still, it makes for a more full rounded find, don't you think?

Odds are they don't go together, but you are right completes the bell
