I got out yesterday to the field I found the 1919 buffalo at and finally found my second whole crotal!
I also found the usual junk, a nice piece of float copper, and an item I can't identify.
Also included the turkeys keeping me company for the hunt!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/924e1a69ea9ad7cba1e7e3c26667caf4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/63a41e74b41678b33e6d7f5e1e5b15a1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/2b588775b415f6ef54a32b3e19b814c9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/efaa5cc67bb29c73bd9e7ab567ccf51e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/d4eac4ba14c23521aea137ec1583e02a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/aa6a5611046b97e100670a3bfdab6417.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/9d00a9b18f85f6ea522208de282696d6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/c9fa42a680b0640636a840303515b703.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171110/9a5c6623ad0bd0e4185f788f3b0be569.jpg

Nice! Try as I may, I cannot find a full bell. Good hit on the float copper too. Got to be some copper artifacts waiting to be found. The whatzit looks like a swivel to something. Maybe a trap chain or horse hardware ??

I have one of your whatsit but I can't remember what it is called...CRS. Congrats on the crotal bell.

Crotals are super rare!! Kinda weird Jeff hasn't found one yet. :shocked04: You think you know a guy :lol:
Like Al, I also have some of those thingies, but have no idea what they are.
Chris, that field looks JUST LIKE one of my fields. Next time I'm there I'll take a pic. There're usually deer right in that corner. Big congrats on a super find!!:congrats:

Drew, can't believe Jeff hasn't found one either! But now my crotal bell count matches my LC count at 2. Really need to find more of each! :)
Here's a photo of both bells together.

don't know how big that what is it is, but it reminds me of a double clevis, to attached to log chains together with bolts..

Nice finds man! I must say, Drew and Jeff have me beat a number of times over on colonial coppers, but I may have them on the crotals with 14 whole ones. I wonder if the mystery item was some sort of stopper mechanism to an old bottle...or a swivel as others suggest. I don't by the way, have one of those!

Congrats on the "petal" bell Chris , your mystery item is a link to a "chain pump"
