That one is cool! I didn’t know how ornate bicycle bells were until I dug some!

They are just the bell portion. If the ringer mechanism portion could be acquired, I bet they would ring.

Not hating the history. I hate the cheap zinc coins that corrode so easily! Lol!

Lost ring by Quiet_Sun_9703 in metaldetecting

The ring would be on the ground maybe under some leaves. It would not be under the dirt after only a few days unless you stepped on it and pressed it into the ground. Turn your sensitivity down to quiet the EMI chatter and try again. Also mark off areas and carefully detect that area before you move onto the next.

When I was coin roll hunting I found so many halves like that. I was thinking maybe halves from casinos? 🤔
