Keyhole cover

[villagenut]

Found this little keeper along a strip of old road where prep was being done for a sidewalk. A lot of top soil had been removed so I figured anything there would be covered soon. It was apparent that someone else had beaten me to it but I gave it a shot anyways. The spearhead design looks like a smokehouse lock type but I find it odd that it only says PATENT and not a VR (Queen Victoria) 1837-1902. Not sure if this is of the same time frame or not but cool nonetheless.

Hello villagenut. Nice find. Side walks and old curb strips can be productive. Good Luck. C9

Any find is a good find, (almost) that looks pretty cool I love history. Im bored 60 degrees 8 inches of snow on the ground. Thanks for the post I dont think anywhere is totally hunted out Ive been to places where people have beat me to and still found some good stuff. Good Job!!!!
