I just thought it was great just to find it and to get a look at it. Especially since they said it was already gone. In someone's yard like that in 2001 or 2009 just maybe it is still there. It is a historical marker anyway and I do not think they would have removed or crushed it into gravel?
1320: your first picture showing swift map with 6 and 6A. found parts of a path going up right side of ridge to top. number 6 is where suiters branch road runs up hollow. if you walk on right path you will see cliffs on top of ridge, go south to end of cliff, look hard for a bell cut in cliff at waist high. you should see a cut line running across center pointing downward about 20 degrees toward north. I believed I was to look for path or maybe a cave opening or pile of rocks. I know it was pointing toward a small hill just north of suiters road and ridge. Note: the way up is halfway up suiters rd. and dam steep and hard. the dotted line is correct, you must follow it to bell. because it was end of summer, I could not see anything because of trees and brush. I think they put this path there because you could see the bell from the top of the ridge. if you are walking around that small rise or small hill you would never see any form of bell. look at bottom of first picture, that is where beaver creek runs past suiters road and that is also where route 36 runs into frenchburg. just past suiters rd, 36 turns left and runs towards salt lick ky. go north on 36 and you will come to a bend. look for drain that heads east. that is lower part of bell and part of the lower part of suiters ridge. go past bend and you come to cooper branch road, go up cooper rd. and on left beside road you should see a drain about 5 feet deep, that is left side of bell. I have photo of that section of map. I hope it works? anyway the drains tie together to form bell at bottom of ridge. Spanish and French would want you to look for opening on hill. something hiding on same. I keep looking at the bell tie on top. to me it seem to say gateway to something below. if photo does not work. go to google earth and use historical settings to get best picture of area.
