Went out for a last minute hunt with my friend todd to an area near an old train depot. I got a good signal after arriving and dug these 2 switch keys from the same hole. One has the initials G.N.R.Y "Great Northern Rail Yard" and the other has N.P.R.Y. "Northern Pacific Rail Yard". Also popped a nice silver rosie 1950, several wheaties and some play money dated 1974. All in all a great short hunt and looking forward to doing it again soon

I so much want to find a cool key! The only key I have found worth mentioning is a Model T key and it is NO WHERE as cool as yours.

Way to go. Those keys are so cool. It is such a nice bonus to have the initials right on the key. I like all kinds of key but these have to be a favorite.

Those are some very nice switch lock keys... I've found 2 over the years, and these are my favorite as I work for BNSF Railway...
