I've been hunting a 1780 home. No good coins yet, but a few wheats and some clad.
But, today I found 3 good targets.
A very cool lock: "CORBIN 6 LEVER" - Flat Shackle - Barrel Key. 3" high x 2" wide. Stamped Brass body. Brass shackle. Mfg by: Corbin Cabinet Lock Co. Can't find an exact date, but seems to be c. 1900-1914?

An old lead mounted soldier. He was a little bent and I straightened him just enough so he could stand back up.

And a new "oldest" Dog Tag. 1917 North Stonington #44040. My previous oldest was Killingly 1922.

Nice lock!! Congrats
 
Love that horse & rider!
 
That number on the dog tag is interesting. Surely they didn't have 44,040 dogs in 1917? Gary
 
Oh, that lock is awesome! Congrats on some pretty cool finds.
 
3 Really nice keepers.
I think that is the best horse and rider lead figure I've ever seen on this site-simply awesome!
Congrats on all
 
great finds! love the dog tag, my oldest is 1944
 
Great finds! Hunt that place hard, there must be more great stuff there.

Lead toys are some of my favorite finds. You got a nice one there. Bet he's glad to be out of the ground!
