Merc and I worked some beautiful sites this week. Relics include-
1 crotal bell
Two delicate full buckles
Gold cuff (or gilt?)
Cloak Button
Two conestoga bells
Rosette
Ox knob
Edit- went back today (because I am the worst kind of addict) for 1/2 hour and got a dateless CT copper

Spring!!

What a great collection of keepers. Nice crotal bell, really like those other bells also. I have more crotal than the conestoga bells.

Congrats on the crotal. They are a very desireable relic to dig in my opinion.

Great hunt Drew, looks to be a sweet spot. One of the nicest cellar holes and surrounding area i've seen.

And it's a good thing you went back too! :yes: :clapping:
Congrats on your first crotal bell :grin:
Not all of them do but, some will have a number on the very bottom along the slit in the bell. The number indicates the bells size. Can you make out what size it is? I've found one similar to your in the past and I believe mine was a #1
