My little Bell (picture add)

[Old River]

found this one today along with a good bottle. When I get the bottle cleaned up I will post it. NOTE: added a picture of what I believe is the dong for the little bell. Found it in the same area as the bell.

Re: My little Bell

Man, I had to change the title so some folks wouldn't be offended. LOL. I found it at an old med 1800's home site not to far from my house. The same place I found the Mason Jar, and the lead doll shoes. It was down about 15 inchs, along with a bottle that i will post later.

Re: My little Bell

The little bell is four, and one half inches tall. I was digging another signal when I found the bell. First I found a piece of cast iron from a wood stove, and some other metal. After I had cleaned the 3 ft. round, and 18 inch deep hole out, I decided to run my detector over it again. About 15 inches down on one side of the hole I picked up a signal. I widened the hole about another 6 inches in that area, and thats where I located the bell. I almost passed out to see it in one hole piece. The bonger was missing, but I love the bell.

Re: My little Bell

Nice looking bell, any idea on the age?

 

[Old River]

Re: My little Bell

Don't really know the age of this bell, but the site dates from around the 1840's to the late 1800's. It has a number 81 on the botton of the bottle, I've heard that was the year the bottle was made. Do it would be 1881.

Great bell!. . . how does it sound?

Re: My little Bell

I'm really sorry i got my discription mixed up with the bottle. The bell has no numbers on it. The bottle I found that was posted on another post had the number 81 on it. I was thinking of one thing, and writing another. The bell did not have a dong in it. I do believe I found the dong that was lost out of the bell though.
