Found a Conestoga Bell today and other goodies

[history hunter]

Tried a new spot yesterday and came up with a few old good finds with the nox 800. These Items were found in what was the back yards of very early 1800's houses, that were torn down to make way for a wider road. The Conestoga bell turned out to be of the tombac variety. This was a first for me just starting my 54th year of metal detecting (started at 4 yrs old 1969, Dad was a WW2 Vet that had an archery store he started in 1947 and added metal detectors in the early 60s). Also found a reigns guide, and a heavy plaque that I have not found anything on yet.. It was a very fun 3 hrs of treasure hunting.

Nice finds, I like that tag. Is it made of brass? I tried to research CH Dahl and found nothing. Do you have any idea what it came off of?
