Hit a local park and a section along a river that used to have some 100 year old buildings, now gone. Came away with a lot of clad 3 wheaties, and a 1956 rosie dime. I also found a brass skeleton key in the same area that I found the civil war 'US' belt buckle a little while back. near this old wall and 'stairs to nowhere'. The skeleton key is stamped '970'. I wonder what that means?

I found the silver dime in probably one of the most hunted out local parks where I live, in the picnic area, with very old trees that have probably been hunted over and over for the last 30+ years. I guess someone missed the dime beside the big tree, but my AT Pro picked it up, even tho there was a lot of iron, foil, caps, tabs, and can-slaw around from the BBQ grills and picnics.
