Found these items in camp near Hag. Md. I was curios about the keys, are they period, what were they used for? Thanks for any help!

Hey Digger, whatcha' in for? I'm glad things went well and hope your out of the Hospital soon and fully recovered.

Sweet finds 'As usual' lol

As for the keys, I guess 85% that they were mid -late 1800's & if they were found in a camp most likely for CW Era Locks. "IMO"

I had my left hip replaced on Monday. I'm home now & recovering well. I hope I can dig in a month or so. Thanks for asking.

Davers right, they're period warded keys for a warded keyhole / pin set. The smaller one could have been for a lock drawer on a writing desk or small lock as Davers pointed out. The larger key could have been a safe key, door key or a large lock. Do either keys have any marks, such as initials, figures or such? Anyhow great finds Joe and as always, thanks for sharing...
