Yesterday's finds

[jeff & Maria]

I was pretty happy when I saw that coin in the hole since I was at a Revolutionary war homestead. Turns out to be a 1957 South African coin. Oh well, still better than a pulltab. Nice to find a bell that isn't smashed also.

I have seen others find bells at old home sites,did they use on horses or their front door.

Nice petal bell. I found one identical to that this past weekend and according to the research I did, that shank style dates the bell to circa 1810 - 1850. I used electrolysis on mine and it cleaned up beautifully. John
