My First Crotal Bell !!

[dfallis1]

Today I went back to my farm in the late morning. Only had a few hours of play time. My main goal for today was to find one of the original homesteads on the property. There was a lot of jumping around field to field looking for the high concentrated areas. I did find two potential areas for later this month. Today I managed to pull out a beautiful "Krampus" I mean crotal bell, a small brooch, old medicine bottle, and this decorative claw piece . Also found a old bottle dump by accident. Tons of old cloudy black, green, clear glass. The claw is made of brass and most likely was off a piece of furniture. Don't know the age. The crotal bell is a first for me. I have been talking about finding one for awhile now so this is a exciting find for me. Not to familiar with old glass so if anyone has any info please leave a comment. Thanks for looking GL&HH

Awesome finds! What a coincidence. I dug my first one today also. At the Rocky Mountain store SW of Medicine Lodge. It was an old trail stop. Paul Schwartz, Comanche County, Kansas

Nice one at that, I didn't find any of those for such a long time, they are the coolest looking things! You found allot of promising things, need to go back and grid search, looks good.

That's a SWEET crotal bell! I found my first recently and found markings on it,a number 2 and makers mark(SN). Seth North is the maker on mine,perhaps yours has initials also? Did I mention...SWEET bell!!

Thanks. this one doesn't have any maker marks or initials.

That's funny. Someone else posted a crotal bell find yesterday as well. They look similar, only difference is the size.
