Windy, with a good chance of Crotal bell today.

[BLACKIE555]

A bonus rosie and wheat penny discovered the bottom of my worn out pocket along the way out.
My first complete bell of this size for me. I can't believe I didn't taco it with the shovel tip somehow, it didn't want to let go of the deep. Blessed! Thank you.
Thinking of that Chuck Berry song, a 45 rpm record I had when I was a kid.... how'd it go? 🐢

That was "My Ding A Ling a Ling Chrotal Bell".

Have dug many over the years and it's one recovery I always welcome.
Coins are coins-but clean out the mud , wash a bell up, and hear it ring after a century or 2.
Now that is a sweet sounding piece of history.
Congrats on the recovery, and I hope you find many more.
