Hi Everyone!
Last Night I was out for a short hunt with Marcj at a site I found multiple silver dimes and quarters at last year, its an unmaintained field that I can only hunt in the spring due to the grass getting so long, this field is located a 2 second walk from my old house.
the oldest coin I have found there was a 1907 Eddie quarter, but last night I believe I found something there that is much older,
Its a nice old Smokehouse pad lock the brass swing says "Secure V.R" with the Victorian crown. this is my second big lock like this, 2 year ago I found one that was stamped U.S, this one I will use reverse electrolysis to clean it up and see what's left underneath it.
I Also managed to get my first Silver quarter of the year, mind you its not old, 1965 but its still silver!! :yes:
the only other 2 things I found was 2 pennies..
I am very excited for the weekend, my friend recently moved to a mid 19th century house that get this.....came with an old stone church!!! :smile: apparently everything is original, hopefully the earth gives up its goodies!
Happy Hunting Everyone
