Couple Hours on a New Site

[romeo-1]

Got out for a late morning hunt on a new site I just secured yesterday. So far it looks mostly Victorian but did find a couple interesting buttons, a couple provincial coppers and what I think is a keg key...opinions welcome!

Until someone pipes in - I searched Google and found a Nova Scotia 1 Cent - you might try to see if you can figure out the year...

Nova Scotia 1 cent 1861

Thanks for that...I knew what the coins were as they are quite common here but am mist curious about the large brass "key"...

The other partially visible coin looks like a Newfoundland 1 cent; very cool!

Exactly right...1917...maybe lost at the same time as the Signal Corp collar disk...

Maybe not real old but a couple of different ones to throw on the pile!

Our hunts here are soon approaching!

Let me know when the corn and beans are gone and i'll work a crossing into my schedule...don't want a repeat of last fall!

Cool handful of Victorian digs!

Could that brass key be a clock winder, a skate key, or maybe a water key.
Just taking a shot at some of the keys it reminds me of. Good hunt
Congratulations

I'm not going to help, by saying I don't think its a tap key, & never seen another like it.

I have two identical to those "keys"
The ones I have pretty sure are lead, for that reason I agree with CRUSADER, and not keg (tap) key.
Looked for them for a pic. but are in the outdoor collection.
Found.

I guess could be a key, but I can't imaging making any tool out of lead ?

EDIT, Oh yeah collar disk cool, as is new hunting grounds.
