Tough hunt

[jkress]

Just one of those days where I struggled for good signals. Hunts like this really make me appreciate the good ones when they come along. :yes:
A few wheats, a coin from Portugal and a crotal bell.

Pretty cold and windy out today... but as always, fun to be hunting.

No initials or numbers on the top of the bell, but the bottom has what appears to be the number 3.

[Carver]

You got some great finds Joe!!!!

[staydetuned]

That bell's in great shape! That's one thing I've never dug in the U.S.

Hey man, some nice green wheats and a 30's foreign; I can that a good hunt. Only shows the silver is lurking nearby. Keep it up!

[milco]

Nice interesting finds. I think I found a bell exactly like that last year, I'll have to look.

[RobW]

Not so bad...we've all had worse :yes: Great bell and wheats, is that a foreign SILVER?

[aloldstuff]

Really like the crotal bell. I've managed a few of those and will never get enough of them. Heck we've all had those types of hunts, but it just takes one decent find to make it all worth while.

:clapping: Way to go Joe!! Makes you think about those old coins buried deep, you know they had to come here by way of a big 'ol ship...
