Got chance to get out for a 3 hour hunt yesterday afternoon. I decided to try my luck at finding a couple of long gone farmstead sites that I've been researching before the farmers plant the fields. Spent a couple of hours at the first site with no good finds at all (found brick, glassware bits, plus iron and tin but no coins or relics). I moved on to the next site and had a few decent finds including 3 wheat cents (one 1941 and two very bad ones), a really nice small key, a buckle, part of a watch, a couple of modern bullet leads, a 1952 rabies tag, and a few other pieces. I also had some nice eyeball finds which include a few small shell pieces (this is the only field that I have hunted that have these pieces lieing on the surface) and a very nice pair of whitetail deer antler sheds found about 150 yards apart. All in all it was a nice day out! Thanks for looking and may your next hunt be a great one!

Nice finds,

I have a few of those keys myself. Look like hand cuff keys. Maybe a clock key or something like that also.

I believe you nailed it JuJu ... did a little research and the key is most likely a small, early 1900s barrel key.
 
Nice finds, I like the set of deer antlers too, very cool! 8)
