Decent little hunt

[BenVa68]

I went to one of my Civil war spots that i hunt sometimes after work yesterday and found a few interesting things. Wish i would've had more time. Hours just seem to fly by when your MDing but i did find a Federal Infantryman button thats missing the back, an old padlock which to me appears to have been made partially of lead. All of the steel parts are gone. A 1950s -60s Ford Capri Key, A pile of lead, Part of a metal "plate" and some kind of a lever. I'm not sure about that one. I also dug a Buffalo nickel but i haven't cleaned it enough yet to make out a date or anything.

Nice button. I like the lock. Looks like it’s been in the ground a long time. Congrats on a nice variety of finds.

Nice job!

The body of the lock is not brass and also not magnetic. Maybe lead or pewter. All of the iron is rusted away except the hasp. Its definitely pretty old. I love finding relics like that.
