Navy Davy and I took Mike from the Canadian Detecting Forum out to one of my permissions on a day that had blistering high winds. The drive there was like going on a circus ride as we were blown all over the road. Sort of meandering like a drunken sailor.

The field was exposed completely to the wind whose mercy we were at. Not too mention areas of mud! All of us dug a few buttons, buckles and coppers. Mike was tickled as he dug his first ever flat tombac button.

Slogged the field for quite a few hours that took it's toll on ND and I while Mike seemed impervious to everything....darn young fellows.

Take for this old bouy was a 1905 dime, button, a dewy along with a very nice cortal bell that even retained its dinger.

That night it was off to bingo and of course the Hunny Bunny won. I just sat there suffering the effects of the day.

@sarkany, after looking up "crotal bell", I am now wondering whether this bell likely fell off a horse carriage in the time before automobiles. For those of us who are wholly unfamiliar with these things, are they pretty common finds?
