Thread: 7 crotals!!!!

    7 crotals!!!!

    I've always thought I should have found more crotal bells...until this morning, I found seven!!
    I'm guessing there are a few more, maybe four, that I can't appreciate with my pinpointer, or detector. Does anyone know how many were on a harness? I've seen a few with 11. I may ask if I can dig the area with a shovel.
    I also found a turn of the century spoon. Thanks!

    When I was on one of my road trips in Germany we stayed at a farmhouse for a week and the farmer was very proud to show us his family heirloom of crotal bells on a harness. 200+ years old. There was 12 on each side (and they were very noisy). You'll have to post a pic once you get them all cleaned up!
