Short hunt today. First Crotal bell and a sterling ornate buckle of sorts.

Nothing fancy about the crotal Bell it still rings and it’s my first. The buckle I dated to 1928 from the swastika maker mark. It’s pretty cool but I am worried about rust marks.I don’t think they are real diamonds lol. Found at a site we have hunted a lot. Also found a Sheffield plate fork. My buddy found some pretty cool stuff as well. His finds are on paper towel

Congratualtions on the great relic hunt!

Cool little corral bell

Nice finds....not to be a nit picker but your bell is actually an older sleigh bell...the top was shaped like a rivet to attach to the leather strap and made of steel hence the corrosion.

Hey that’s still cool haha. Oh well i definitely appreciate the info now I still have to find one!

 

[Tedyoh]

I found 2 of each at one site so you're definitely in the right place. Good luck!

Really cool relics I have only found a piece of a crota bell Well done

 

[Tpmetal]

Tedyoh is spot on with this. I think I say this on every post with bells, but I'll say it again. Bells are one of my favorite finds.

Nice finds! Congrats!

Looks like you had a nice hunt. I don't think it is a buckle, it has pin attachments on the back making it a brooch.

The makers mark on the brooch looks Like “SE” maybe, nothing I’d wear, but pretty cool!!
