2 old locks in one day and one of them is Railroad

[relic lover]

I went back to one of my old spots today to dig a signal I could not get out of the ground with my digger earlier this spring. The target turned out to be an old padlock and it had writing on it I was quite pleased. This place has definitely been hunted by others and signals are scarce. There was thick rose bushes all around and I remembered an old post on here that I remembered that said you have to be willing to go where others won't or can't to get the good stuff in the hunted sites. So I stoop down and thrust my detector underneath the nastiest rosebush you've ever seen half hoping I would not get a signal but sure enough I got a screaming signal and had to crawl in there. I'm glad I did because I came up with aside from a hundred Hot Rocks the nicest lock I've ever dug. Plus it's a railroad lock Central Pennsylvania I assume. I am not very versed in Old locks so if anyone wants to chime in with a potential age on these it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Yeah it sounded off like gangbusters even with hot rocks all around and in the hole with it.
