Hey all,
Got to go over to a friend's place today and have a look about. They live in the 3rd oldest house in the town next to mine. I think it dates from the 1700s. Was hoping for some cool coinage, but didn't find any yet. Did hit some unusual items, though. Despite tweaking out iron a little bit, many of the stuff we dug turned out to be of that caliber, but gave some wild signals. Here's the take:
I think the most interesting was the lockface. At first, I thought it was part of a shoe heel. After cleaning some of the dirt off, I thought it belonged to a padlock of some kind, but I'm rethinking that. Could this have mounted on a door? Has anyone seen this kind of thing before? Here's a closer pic:
Whaddya think?
