2 Indians, 2 Wheats, a lock and a ?

[halfdime]

Back to the site of last week's 1829 half dime; I promise not to whine about the finds today . The first two good signals were these Indians; a 1902 and 1906. Somewhere along the line, I added this little lock and another piece which I can only begin to guess at. It is about 7/8" tall, six sides coming up from a flat bottom and lighter in weight than you'd expect. I figured that one out; it appears to be hollow inside. On the bottom, and I hope it shows well in the picture, is an old-fashioned letter "C" (I think). The last two finds were 1930 and 1944 wheats. Nothing spectacular, but this place has become a reliable supplier of Indians! Please help with the six-sided item, will you? Meanwhile, I'm heading off to the ER because a yellow jacket sting from yesterday (non-detecting) is starting to look like an infection .

look like a seal, have you tried it in silly putty to see the image?

That looks to be an interesting site to hunt. Love those IH pennies and that lock is very intersting, about the same size as a penny. I wonder what type of treasures that lock was protecting

Nice hunt. That's the coolest lock I've seen. Don't know about the six sided thing, would think the C would be backward if a stamp.

PS-Maybe if you'd gone metal detecting yesterday you wouldn't have gotten stung.

I realised that, so wanted to know if it looked like any other letter when impressed (might be upside down) or might not be a seal at all
