Title: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: spaceonwhite on September 08, 2018, 06:14:17 PM After 4 recent sessions out with no luck, today some goodies finally made an appearance!
Lizzie threepence which I think is 1575. Not sure what the other rather worn silver coin would have been so if anyone has any ideas ??? Also, can anyone tell me if this is a crotal bell? If so it would be my first but I'm not 100% that it is one! Cheers Title: Re: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: Val Beechey on September 08, 2018, 06:48:52 PM That’s a very nice Lizzie coin. But I’m sorry to disappoint you on the bell. It’s a door knob.
Google Crotal Bells and you can compare them. Can’t help with the battered hammie, I’m afraid it’s too far gone for me to guess at but if Probono or the Doc see it they might know. Not a bad session. Better than my last outing. ::) Title: Re: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: spaceonwhite on September 08, 2018, 06:51:26 PM :D :D :D oh well, one day I’ll get a Crotal Bell!! Thanks for the comments Val
Title: Re: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: The Doc on September 08, 2018, 10:11:46 PM Well found. The battered coin is a William III sixpence, so milled rather than hammered. Could also be a shilling depending on size.
Title: Re: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: Resurgam on September 09, 2018, 05:49:42 AM I think that Val is correct with door knob, rather than crotal bell; but then again, perhaps a drawer knob (furniture knob).
Title: Re: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: Val Beechey on September 09, 2018, 07:50:57 PM Chris, a knob is a knob is a knob ;D
Comparison sizes are useful. Without it you can only speculate and door knobs are the most usual find, for me anyway. ::) Title: Re: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: Resurgam on September 09, 2018, 09:07:10 PM No bed knobs; or broomsticks? ;D
Title: Re: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: Val Beechey on September 10, 2018, 08:10:44 AM Ah now you mention it ! ;D
Title: Re: Todays finds. Crotal bell? Post by: spaceonwhite on September 10, 2018, 07:45:59 PM Thanks for the ID's and comments all. Due to the size, I'd say it's a drawer knob!
