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

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

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.

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!!
