I was detecting a stream that leads to a spring house today & found a Standing Liberty quarter ... no date. 1920's brass Chevrolet center hub grease cap. A cap with the American flag & 13 stars & a 1943 nickel. Thanks for looking.

Very nice work!! Any date on that SLQ??
 

I'm pretty sure the American flag 'cap' thing is the top of a bicycle bell
 

I think I’ve only found 3 or 4 with dates out of about 15

Thanks, I was wondering what it was on. Here's what the underside looks like. I think the metal is pewter.

Nice hunt, well done on the SLQ
 

Nice finds. SLQs are great, with or without a date. That looks like a very interesting spot to detect.

It is a spot with lots of history going back 300 years. This spot has been metal detected a lot over the years. Everything easy as already been found. I was happy to find the SLQ.
 

Very nice items. The bell cap is intriguing. I wonder the reason for that flag design on such an item.
Originally I wondered about it being a DAR inspired item.

I did a web search on antique bicycle bells. Found lots of examples of antique bicycle bells with all types of ornate designs on them of everything you can imagine.

I did find the exact same bell on WorthPoint.com for auction. Antique bicycle bell CRIST 312AF.
