Old Bell

I'm working on getting the pictures.
It's not a Cow bell as they are made of real thin tin metals.
This is a Solid poured or molded bell. I do not think it is Gold or anything.
However I do believe it is pretty old, however there looks to be a change or repair to it.
I am not sure on the date, but I will get a picture as soon as possible.

Thanks
 

Here are some pictures of the bell.
It is a liitle scuffed up, but still looks pretty good.
I am not sure how old it is but it was pretty deep when I found it.
Would like any comments.

Also there are no markings or dates on the bell.
 

Very cool find,,, does it still ring out?, or does it sound dead when stuck?
 

could be an old school house bell or a old cowboy dinner bell

The bell still rings out very well.
It will fit in the palm of and average hand.
I can not find the age of it, as there are no markings on it.
Thanks for the replys.
 

Nice bell! I love these things.

I once met a man who found a 5000 year old bell with his metal detector. I guess he sold it for big bucks.

I saw a shipwreck bell on ebay once but some Marina also saw it...no matter what I bid they just topped it. It was very cool and I believe was found off Florida. It was bronze as I recall and very large.

Anyway, keep up the good hunting.
