Still claddin' but with a couple surprises.

I'm still trying to get the bad taste of that one hunt out of my mouth. So, I went to a regular claddin' spot.

It turn up one or two small surprises though.




Like this old crotal bell that won't be "crotalling" anymore.



A bit of a shame though. Looks like it might have been pretty nice in it's day.
You can still see a bit of the design still. Oh well, it'll have a nice retirement in my display case, now.



Unexpected, in this field.



Blingie eyeballing the little sand dollar earring.



And even good ole George was a pleasant surprise.

All in all, a nice day.

Thanks for peeking!

Always nice when a few unexpected things turn up during a hunt. Strange that an old crotal bell would make an appearance at a "claddin" spot. There might have been something there before. You can see a portion of the makers mark on the bell in the one picture. There might be enough of it there for you to date it accurately. Congrats on a nice hunt!

Yeah, it does help to keep things fresh don't it?
I'm afraid I don't know crotals very well. Maybe someone can suggest what angle is needed to see the mark that would help.

Thanks!

Oh! I thought that was just a size thing, like No. 10, 12 etc.

Thanks!

Yep, dollar. If they'd lose more of these, I might could get up to minimum wage. LOL

Thanks!

Oh ok, never seen that one. I've seen the others, just never the George.
