Crotal Bell

[TooManyHobbies]

I was working at a customers house and eyed a Crotal Bell on her window sill above the front door. After my work was done, she gave me the bell AND permission to hunt her yard (c. 1771). The bell was the best find so far, but I found 8 wheats in the yard (no silver......YET).

Nice of her to give you the bell and permission to hunt too. Hope you find some silver

I found 34 coins on her property today:
1 quarter
1 nickel
6 dimes
26 pennies (8 wheats, 10 others pre-64) There's got to be some pre - 64 dimes and quarters there.......RIGHT??

Keep hunting that yard! I usually find more of the old stuff on the later visits. The easy (shallow) targets seem to come out of the ground first. Once they are out of the ground, it is easier to focus on the fainter signals. There are definitely plenty of oldies there, just waiting to be found. Good luck!

There has got to be a really good keeper in that ground somewhere...Keep at it. Nice Crotal Bell as well. Congrats and keep us posted on the future hunts... jgas
