I found these two items on my last outing...No coins but this really cool heart shaped lock was under a rotted out tree root. I am assuming the tag is a cattle tag. The last item is an eyeball find from my friends yard in CT. It is a late 19th century Porcelain Beer Bottle Stopper.

Thanks to Wolverine for the ID! Now that I have ID'd it I realize that it is upside-down.

Nice lock :thumbsup:. Your ceramic piece is a bottle stopper.

Nice! This dates it to no later than the end of the 19th century!
 

That's a gorgeous little heart lock! :o I've never seen one like that before and I used to collect padlocks. :icon_thumright:
