Mary and I headed out to detect. She said it was my choice, so we went back to where I found the V nickel. It's a little street that has grass median in the road. So we detected the other half of the median that wasn't done before. Mary was finding clad and junk. I was finding clad, copper fittings, lead, and other junk. Swung over a patch that sounded good, didn't really look at the numbers because I was finding so much junk, dug it up and found this little gem.

It's a JHW Newark NJ brass padlock. Boy was I surprised! It made my day :icon_thumleft: I'm going to clean it up so it looks like this.

Any tips on what to clean it with? Or tips on how to open this little guy?
