Goes4ever · Dec 18, 2011

well today it got up in upper 30's and sun was shining. I went out and hunted an old farm house. It was super trashy, I need to go back with my small coil......no silver today. I got some clad, dog tag, key with rhinestones..hahaha....2 crotal bells, and 2 more indians, a toasted 1880 and a decent 1865, that takes me to 145 indians for the year. :laughing7:

By the by, those copper/brass/bronze bells are becoming hugely collectible. They will likely have a simple design around the bottom half when cleaned. However, some have more complex embossing -- and, rarely, written information (maker, bell's purpose). Also, it seems you might be on a "string" of graduated (in size) bells. If enough are found, they can be reattached to a strip of old leather, like an old belt. I recently saw an 8-bell (restrung) "string" sell for over $600 -- though one bell alone was the size of a baseball.
