Big bell & a 20's token

No silver for me this weekend. Got called away from work for a short hunt when we received permission to hunt on a golf course. No scores there, so we went to look for some lost keys
that a 81yo gent dropped while trimming trees. Couldn't finds any keys but came up with these
goodies.

The Palmolive-Peet Co, Chicago, P 1012." The company became known as the "Palmolive-Peet Co." in a merger in 1926. In 1928, it became the "Colgate Palmolive Peet Co.", so my best guess is that this token is from 1926-28.

The bell has a #2 on it, so maybe was a musical instrument...

No silver but far, far, far from a skunk outing. That token is very cool And the bell is interesting ... Both finds beat the broken dart I found this weekend by far.

Nice finds! That is a hell of a Big Bell, how hard was it to get out of the ground?

Did your DFX ring that bell up as a $1? Cool finds

Oh yeah, and then some.... the footprint was a little big for a coin, even as big as a dollar. But I wasn't finding crap and the last time I dug a signal like that it turned out to be a '21-S Morgan.
The bell was standing upright at about 5" in soft dirt.

Some Christmas caroler of days gone by perhaps? Looks like one of those hand-bells that might accompany a troup of singers. Sweet find!
