Title: Welsh Crotal Bell.
Post by: StumbledUpon on January 29, 2009, 10:48:14 PM
Had a surprise when this popped up yesterday, must have been a foot down (explorer)  ;D Found quite local in the west,dont know if they are more common this way? also found the usual broken fibulas, (think they are following me around the country  ;D) and a denarius last week in the same area but too far gone for ID,
Pleased with the bell.   :)

Some nice finds there maxine, very few crotal bells turn up in Wales. If you want, post up some better photos of both sides of the denarius and I'll have a go at the ID.

Well done Maxine - we were only just debating the lack of Welsh crotals the other day. As usual your finds are excellent.

cheers
Neil

Thanks all, :) ringer has rusted away. Hi Pete, the back of the coin has completely gone no detail at all, I will take it to the meeting see if you think there's a chance of you IDing it. Could be a later date with the quality of the silver, I think there could be a roman farmstead nearby, have'nt found the site yet.  :)
