Dug This Out Of My Yard.

[lookindown]

I was heading to my car with my detector to go to a freshwater beach. My wife called me over and said to check with my detector and make sure there weren't any buried lines where she wanted to plant some flowers. I ran over the area and hit a solid mid tone and told her to dig up that pull tab...she didn't get it on the first shovel full but when she dumped the second scoop out, this key showed up...I like old stuff like this better than silver coins...well, just as much as anyways.

for all of you tossing your keys - if you put together a lot - they will sell - even if not terribly old - Ive sold many lots of keys on Ebay/flea market - money in the pocket...
