Was it close to a station? I went RR track detecting a while ago and found a 1859 IH and a very nice bottle, but no locks. I went hunting along the tracks to try and find a lock. Anyways, I have recently located the old abandond station and I'm going detecting there this summer. What kind of machine do you use and what did the lock read as? Thanks for the help!
