That looks exactly like it other than it's a Turtle not a snake.

What term did you Google to find that?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi, I'm new to this forum but have detected on and off for the past 3 or 4 years and in the 80's with my dad ( I did all the digging), I recently got permission from my dentist who is in an old fine arts building that was built in 1840 in central Indiana, I dug this up at about 4-5 inches down and have Googled the heck out of it and can not come up with anything. I'm thinking it's some kind of decorative bell.

It had a partial bottom that broke up and a magnet will only stick to the post, it has the number 1067 on the inside, I lightly washed it off with water and a towel and some shine came through on parts of it.

ANY help or info would be much appreciated.
