CELLAR HOLES*COPPER & BROKE A NICE CROTAL BELL :O(

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

saturdays hunt didn't yield very much.a silvered flat button no shank and a large victorian cherub button.some cool shaped mushrooms and a humongous tree!

Sundays hunt went with members from the friendly forum.tattou and fast frank and their freind Greg. alot of shell casings a small colonial shoe buckle frame,a 1831 matron head large cent,a few wheaties and clad and while digging a nice signal under a root i think my shovel tip went into the slot of the crotal bell without realizing it and while i was prying up i heard..TINK! :crying02: too bad cuz it was a nice one.the other large piece was in another area and not from the same bell.same style and size.
a real nice hunt and a pleasure to finally meet those guys and do a hunt together.we got drenched in a downpour >:\ to end the day.

thanks G.yeah i'm still kinda pouting about the bell :blackeye:
the mark at the bottom reads N & S 6 any ideas on a date of manufacture? late 1700's? early 1800's? mid 1800's?
