Trime time, Farthing?, and Crotal Bell Hoard

[Bitdrop]

Yesterday it was terrible weather so we stayed close to home. My father and I went up to a 1850s home site where we detected what we think is the barn. I got one Crotal Bell then had more signals in and around that hole. We ended up with 17 in total. Today we went somewhere new and I pulled up my first Trime ever. It's an 1853 and in mint condition. It was fairly green when I dug it but that's nothing a little Baking Soda rub won't cure. My father found what I believe to be some sort of holed farthing. I can just make out a bust on the front but there isn't enough detail for me to know what it is. If anyone has any thoughts let me know!

Very nice trime, and those bells are a cool find. Neat that there is still leather holding a couple together.

Love those bells! Rather than a random one falling off the leather and one of us finding it, it appears the whole leather strap of them rotted away in the ground. Really awesome that a few are still attached. I've only found one complete bell that the homeowner loved, so I gave it to them. So I'm dying to find one I get to keep. Great hunt.

Nice set of bells!

It's too big for a farthing, can't make out any details, so another guess is a counterfeit halfpenny or maybe a jetton.
