A bell is a simple sound-making device. Bells are usually made of cast metal, but small bells can also be made from ceramic or glass.  Bells range in size from tiny dress accessories to church bells 5 meters tall, weighing many tons. Its form is usually a hollow, cup-shaped acoustic resonator, which vibrates upon being struck. . The striking implement can be a tongue suspended within the bell, known as a clapper, a separate mallet or hammer, or in small bells a small loose sphere enclosed within the body of the bell.
 
Historically, bells were associated with religious rituals, and before mass communication were widely used to call communities together for both religious and secular events. Later bells were made to commemorate important events or people and have been associated with the concepts of peace and  freedom. The study of bells is called campanology. In Finland, the countryside has been a tradition for children of the house to tie the neck of cow bells, and get them to circumvent the barn. Such magi were believed to protect the cows from a bear. After this magi cows were released to pasture. This geobell can hopefully bring good  luck to geocaching.
 

About This Item

Kulkunen on ontto metallinen kartio tai pallo, jonka sisällä on jotakin helisevää ainetta. Tämä kello on tehty messingistä. Soittimen arvellaan olevan aasialaista alkuperää, mutta se on ollut pitkään tunnettu myös muissa sivilisaatioissa. Euroopassa jo kivikautisista hautapaikoista on löydetty savisia kulkusia. Kulkusia on aluksi käytetty lähinnä koristeina tai eräänlaisina suojeluvälineinä. Tuokoon tämä kello onnea seuraavan kätkön etsinnässä. Kulkusia on perinteen mukaan myös esimerkiksi tonttujen päähineissä ja joulupukin porojen kaulapannassa. The sleigh bell is a hollow metal cone or ball inside which there is a clinking material. This clock has been made of brass. It is thought that the instrument is an Asian origin but it has been also known for a long time in other civilisations. In Europe already in ancient burial places clayey sleigh bells have been found. The sleigh bells have been first used mainly as decorations or a kind of protection tools. I hope that this clock brings in the search the cache which follows luck. The sleigh bells also are for example according to the tradition in headgear of gnomes and in neck ban of the reindeer of Santa Claus.
