Farm field gives me my first 1800's silver....and it's big

[Jaysix]

We got out this morning on a permission that I got last week. We only got to do the field because the house site was beyond overgrown. We will hit that in the spring before everything grows again. Needless to say, I am not disappointed. First target was the key plate. Second target....1898 Barber Half less an inch down that I knicked with the shovel. The wheatie is a 1917 and the crotal bell is probably one of the fanciest that I have ever dug. Can't wait to go back.

Fancy bell! Great finds I would keep poking away at that property! HH

Not sure which find I like the best? I am saying the Ultra Fancy Crotal Bell ranks way up on my cool list! I have never seen one with that design pattern before. Of course 1800's silver of the larger variety is always a good find. Nice sight and great digs.
