Killer crotal bell and flying eagle cent

[IronCityDetector]

Two finds from yesterday are not the most valuable, but are now two of my favorites. A killer crotal bell the size of a tennis ball, and a 1857 flying eagle cent! My first eag cent! The bell was buried about 7 or 8 inches down. It still has the thing inside to make it ring.

That is a big bell.....And I absolutely love those flying eagles, even when toasted. Just add more butter......

Nice crotal and you found a coin from my bucket list. I dug my first and only crotal earlier in the year and it had the dingler inside as well!

Very nice! That bell is great. So much nicer than the usual plain ones. The Flying Eagle is a taught coin to dig. I only have one myself. Thanks for sharing!

That is a very nice crotal bell, & a tough size to find. I have only found 1 that size myself. Congrats on your Flying Eagle also.
