Key and Lock

[chris herron]

hello I'm pretty new to the hobby and have been on only four or five hunts at parks and my own backyard.Today at a friends house I found my first real fine in some woods next to his place .Next to a very large oak tree I got a really faint signal when I dug down at about 18 inches (which I thought was a lot deeper than my metal detector should be able to go agian I'm new )I found this key when I put the pin pointer back in the hole it hit on something else just an inch away from where the key was I found this lock.I was hoping someone could give me an idea of what type of key and lock this is as well is the best way to clean them.the key is much too large to fit into this lock it seems but it was right next to it .they were two other giant oak trees in the vicinity and I did not have time to search any longer do too the sunset settings.

That is an awesome find. In my opinion locks and keys are some of the neatest finds. Congratulations on a nice and memorable find.

It's all good, Except maybe can slaw! BUT when that first holy s*** find comes out of the ground, and you are looking at it in your hands that are trembling from excitement, You will understand why all of us on this site are totally addicted to this hobby! Just one thing, when you find your first shield nickle, don't put in your shirt pocket like I did. Needless to say, I found it and lost it the same day!
