I Finally Found A Crotal Bell!

[ODA 226]

Finding a Crotal Bell has been on my bucket list since I began metal detecting. After three long years, I've finally found one. It dates from the 16th to 17th Century and I'm so happy! And to think I found it on Friday the 13th!

Congrats on your first crotal bell. It's an old one too. :thumbsup01:

We rarely go back to the 17th century around here, and I haven't heard of any 16th-century finds near me....that must be so awesome to hold something that old! Congrats!!

You found a NICE one !

I've found coins dating back to the 1600's and some of my friends have found coins dating to the 1500's. I guess that's one of the perks being a metal detectorist in Bavaria!

The makers mark is "CL" and is dated to the 16th- 17th century.

Congrats on your cool first and incredibly old Crotal bell .It kind of looks like a cross between a cherry bomb and a hand grenade .Perhaps from a " Dark Ops" Bovine ? :lol:
