"And so the population was gradually led into the demoralising temptations of arcades, baths, and sumptuous banquets. The unsuspecting Britons spoke of such novelties as 'civilisation', when in fact they were only a feature of their enslavement." Tacitus, Roman Senator and Historian, written AD 98.

Thanks guys....the fact that it's worth absolutely nothing = means nothing to me.
The fct that I'm holding something that's possibly hundreds of years old absolutely fascinates me!
Lot's of things go through my head....why was it in middle of a field? Who was the last person to hold it? Who were they, what did they do....what did it unlock....I love it....thanks guys.
The quick and helpful responses show why IMHO this is THE best treasure forum on the Internet, bar none!

I wouldn't say it's worthless, it does have value... although not a lot.
The best and most value is to you and the memories of the find.
It's a very cool key... now if you can just find the lock...

That’s a great relic. Obviously very old and worth the time to research.

 When the going gets wierd, the wierd turn pro...I am a wealth of mostly trivial information.....
That looks to be a key from a pretty large lock like you'd find in a door. Is there any record of the field having a substantial building like a manor house or church on it or close by? Any pottery or building rubble nearby?

I collect military relics, mainly German and American, but interested in others as well, pre 1945 .. Always interested in adding to my collection

I've not seen a key quite like it, very interesting. I'm struggling to date it, as I've seen no parallel's, but it must be at least 200 years old but I'm guessing post-medieval. Therefore, circa 1600-1800. I'm thinking this went to a large chest used to keep valuables in, most of the good ones were imported from Germany.

Another possibility.
