I found a bell!

[Nana40]

Weather is still ok here so I went out to the woods today for a couple of hours....same 'ole woods.....different area.

Came across A LOT of barbed wire and the bell was with it. My first bell to find! Went over to where the rocks end and the level

begins and found the two little musket balls and about ten feet from them I found the bullet. And the shot gun shells were on a trail.

I have a question......because these shots are not very white...does that mean they are not old?


Thanks!

Nana

Great CW finds. WTG.

I'll just throw this into the post for whatever.

Several years ago I met a guy in the UP of Michigan who was a hunter of "float copper." This is raw copper which has a tiny bit of silver in it. It's unique to northern Michigan.

Anyway, he occasionally found ancient tools (knives, awls, spear points) while detecting.

One day he found this bell made of hammered float copper. The age 5,000 to 6,000 years old.

I heard he sold it a couple years ago.

I really like bells and the old ones have an interesting history.

Great find.

Nice bell Nana. You are getting better with your unit I can tell. If you can find shot gun shells you can find old nickles. If you can find bullets you can find indian heads. Don't be afraid to explore your area. Bring a partner or a neice or nephew and go and explore some old parks in your town. Don't be afraid to ask to hit a nice old lawn either. Women have all the luck and never get turned down.

Take care Jeremy

Got that bell hanging on the tree....and I have already heard it ring a couple of times! Tell Rudolph I've become attached to this bell so he'll have to find a replacement Zeb! Thanks for the answers to my question and the nice comments.



And.........dance by the light of the moon!

Nice bell.
It would be fun to have a TH's tree, decorated all with finds.
Plus you could make chains from those pesky pull tabs.

Nana, how old was the barbed wire fence? Not that I know any of the specifics, but there are collectors that buy 18-inch sections of less common old barbed wire ...its surprising what some of it goes for!

 

[JakePhelps]

He's right, if you can get a pic of the barbs on the fence we might be able to date it

Very nice bell Nana, WTG!!!

[Nana40]

Thanks!!
