Now THAT'S a crotal bell !!!!!!!!! Video Update for Cynangyl

While swinging with brother Bill (willybgood) and his SE and me with a DFX you just never know what's gonna turn up
We probably spent 8 hours of swingin yesterday spread out between a schoolhouse site,a couple of cellarholes and a local park. Bill got a nice 1899 Barber dime,a couple of mercs and some wheaties. No silver for me but i managed a few wheaties and misc relics but the outstanding find of the day was willybgood's bruiser of a crotal bell!!
It's all intact,measures a full three inches across and after a good flush with the garden hose it still rings!! It's gotta deep tone to it kinda like a cow bell.



Here's an overview of my finds plus Bill's crotal bell



A group shot with my other crotal bells. To the right of it are numbers 7 and 8 bells,it's real faint but this big one appears to have a number 11 on the bottom.



Thanks for havin a look and HH!!!

Man, that's a huge bell. That's an awesome find.

I once was going to start a "Show Me Your Bells" thread, but was afraid of what would happen. They're one of my favorite finds.

Wow, that's a monster of a crotal bell! Do you know where they would have used one that large? On a harness? Let us know if you get your video up....would love to hear it.

No idea if they made a 20, it was British humour I wonder what the max number was, maybe 12.

Awesome bell, Jerry!!

Can't believe it was still intact when it was found!!

Here's a site that's got a size 14 bell (it's 4 1/4" across). They're asking $590 for it.

That is too cool!! Thank you so much for taking the time to video it and post for us so we could hear the tone differences! That was very sweet of you! I really like the lower tone of the larger bell. Very cool find indeed!
