I would dearly love to find a bell like that. Where is the best place to try and find one? I mean site type......

Great finds.

Looks like a great site! I doubt the copper will clean up to show more detail, but I would still give it a try.

I found one like it in a hay field with some fragments of others.
Anywhere they used horses is a good place to look.

My hunting partner Baldingboy is a horses hind end. SO I think I will go try his yard.......



Thanks so much for your reply. Now I have an idea where to begin looking around here.

I love finding crotal bells but never one with a shank, mine have iron rivets i always like hearing them after many years in the ground one sounds realy nice but the other one doesn't sound as nice because of all of the corrosion on the iron ball inside, i hope to get one as nice as yours
