I made a display 12 by 16 back in Dec. of 2009 with the thought of displaying
it one day. I guess today is the day ...... well night.
My favorite would be the Pointed Egg Bell ( top left ). Not as old as the others
but i'd be suprised if i dug another like it. Mine is the least common (longer) one.
14th Century 17th century 14 yrs. and i didn't find a cow bell yet
This is my favorite bell of all times. I dug it back in 2007 while hunting a mountain site on private property in Western Maryland that had a grouping of stone foundations, building depressions that had no foundations, and what appeared to have been a small once-occupied cave. It may have been a squatter's camp or something of that nature. It was almost an hour's hike just to get to it, although it looked like there may have been an old wagon trail up the mountain at one point. This giant cast iron bell took me darn near forever to get off the mountain.
