14K engraved heart shaped lock

[LPN1]

Hey all Just wanted to post my best find to date...not saying much as I just started in August 2016. But on my 4th hunt in September I was hunting an old farmstead which has been active since the mid 1700's and came across this little gem. I love the fact that it was engraved "Gretchen xmas 1901" was quite special.I think that finding gold on only my fourth hunt has set high expectations and has formed a full blown addiction!

Good luck all and happy hunting!

Maybe worth a bit more the actual scrap 14k. I believe some folks collect vintage jewelry in the shape of hearts. I know some of what they call puffy heart charms from the late 19th & early 20th century I noticed would sell pretty good on eBay. I don't know what the market on those is today though? That a awesome find that'll get anyone's heart to racing for sure.
