Outlaw on the Run

[nova treasure]

I got a chance to Metal detect around an old house that used to be a stage coach stop.I dug several old coins but these old handcuffs seemed to be the most interesting find of the day.
I am not really for sure if there real,but when they came out of the ground my mind sure was wandering of who got away for another day.

[nova treasure]

I really believe they are real,I always am pretty skeptical about my finds until proven a fact.I never price anything i have and just enjoy History and sharing the stories of my hunts.
I have alot of stuff to share and just now getting where i can post pics.

LOL, now that's a unique find. I'd love to know how they got there.

Pretty neat find. I once found a brass nuckle at a one room school house. My partner said,
how would you liked to have gone to school at that school. Good Point.

yep, looks like that one might have got away, at least for a while....

 

[twistidd]

Where are you located? They might be slave shackles. They look old enough to be. Who knows?

had they been the cheap toy type they would probably already turned to nothing by now, but then again...nice find though

What a cool find!!! The "modern" Peerless ones I have are hinged away from the main body. Yours are hinged at the main body where the chain is attached.

They look more 20th century

I would like to see the other side, are the key holes there? Seems odd how they open, looking at the site pippinwhitepaws posted I did not find a match, nor did I see a pair that worked like those. I did not examine every pair extremly closly so I could have missed it.
