Some relic finds from 2010. The old tire rim was found buried in the woods behind my house. Looking forward to 2011's hunt. Happy Hunting all! thumbsup01

I found 2 at one local site and the third at another. They all still ring and have such a cool sound, I think they were used as sleigh bells. All were fronm sites that were farms back in the day. I have come across vintage local pictures with the horses wearing them!
