Title: Re: crotal bell and silver spoon Post by: sodbuster on May 17, 2009, 07:24:43 AM Did you by chance find the " bell" in the hedgerow ? All the croatal bell finds I have heard of come this area , probably as the animals are rubbing against the hedges or trees , as they do .
Title: Re: crotal bell and silver spoon Post by: Neil on May 17, 2009, 04:40:26 PM mmmmmm cotal bells!!! Never even found a part of one.
The closest I have got to one is the one Borderfox has amusingly leant me until I can find my own. Some dream of gold, some dream of hoards - I dream of crotal bells. My day will come! Oh, and it has to be a Welsh find! ::) Neil Title: Re: crotal bell and silver spoon Post by: james2nd on May 17, 2009, 06:08:55 PM Nice finds,not been lucky enough to find a crotal bell yet,but I'm still looking!
