I found this cowbell nine inches down next to a tailing pile. The land had been worked by Tiffany and Co. "workers" back in the 1840s.http://[IMG]http://i374.photobucket...-2104D55CE9A0-2456-0000034510E76CA7.jpg[/IMG]

I had my MXT set on Relics being down in North Carolina. This rang out as a "Big Item". It was. I hadn't touched the detector in probably three years. It sure made for a nice return!

Long time lurker!

I got a Prizm 4 back in '06, upgraded to an "shared with a friend" MXT in 2008 and then added a daughter in 2008 as well. That pretty much took care of any spare detecting time! I was down in NC at a friends property to work on their vacation cabin property last weekend. I had some down time so started swinging to see what I could find. The property was owned by the Tiffany's company back in the 1840s and has tailing piles from one end to the other. The brush has been too thick to detect in but they've cleared out a right of way for electric, so I had a bunch of area now. I never posted anything pretty much because you guys have seen dirty park coins before and that's all I'd found up until this point.

Hopefully I can learn the MXT well enough to find the concentrations of black sand and the fine gold that goes with it! (with proper prospecting tools of course, I don't expect the detector to find it.)

That's a nice BIG bell! Must have needed a big cow to ring it.

Apparently they used oxen to move material on this property. It was never used for grazing as far as we can tell, so we're leaning toward MORE OXBELL!!!
