1800s Farmstead

1800's Farmstead

I have hit this old farmstead 3 times now, and all 3 times I have found some good stuff. I hope to make it back real soon. Zero trash makes it easy to find treasure. I found a buckle, a horseshoe, a Columbia 6-Lever pad lock in near perfect condition, and an 1884 maple syrup tap, which is in storage but was the first real piece of history pre1900 with my metal detector. That was a cheap Harbor Freight detector.

Using the Garrett Ace 250 I found the buckle and horseshoe. I found the padlock using my Whites Eagle Spectrum and a similar buckle that is also in storage from last year.

I can only go out there at the beginning of spring before the weeds grow tall, so that's all for this year, I'm just so happy about the lock and it's condition.

Nice, it is definitely one of my favorite finds. I have found a few modern locks but that was a first for me. Hopefully we can stumble across another one.

Nice lock! I just dug a large horseshoe on my land (found a ox shoe a few days ago). It is more exciting to dig historical items like this than just about anything shy of gold!

I've yet to find an old padlock, all of mine have been modern. That one is beautiful!

Congrats on it, I hope you display it somewhere. Maybe even alongside all the other old padlocks that I'm not finding.
