I thought I found an old tootsie car, but as the dirt was falling off, I saw that it is a Lamborghini, LOL, made in Hong Kong:laughing7: Also found a Boy Scout merit badge for fire starting, too bad he lost it. A beat up little silver charm with an onyx stone, lots of clad, 2 wheats, and the only skeleton key I have ever found, and its HUGE!!! It doesn't appear to be too old, but very cool.

That key is awesome! It looks like it opened a giant's front door. It is in incredible condition too. The only key I found it hollow, completely machine made with even little grooves from machinery going along the key, and iron teeth, it is from the '40s.
Congrats on that key, it looks like it was a very good hunt.
