Crotal Bell, Mercury Dime.

[Garabaldi]

We are visiting family in Northern California and was able to get out detecting with my father-in-law for a couple of hours. Didn't expect to find anything old, but found an awesome Crotal bell and a 1917 mercury dime. Couldn't beleive I found this bell. Any idea how old it is.
The best thing about the day is the ground isn't frozen.
