Hunting for treasure,

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

but only finding relics in the last few hours hunting in the old woods.


This was a great high tone peaking out from the iron.


Found this five pounder, left it on a log for the next hiker...


I think this is a license plate “topper”, saw one on EBay for $50, really...


This one looks like it’s older restoration is showing a bit of wear.



Found my second one of these guys intact.


Here is the handful of smalls, the Police Brace suspender clip is cool.


No spoons so far in 2019, but my first ashtray of the year


Good luck out there!
(Forgot about this latch, ID’d on What’s It as a Victorian Pinch Latch, thx guys

At least you're getting out this time of year. No snow and the ground isn't frozen. Nice lock. What is that 5 pounder made of? Looks like lead.

Very cool finds, love the old Wilson Bohannan Padlock lock, it looks like a #300 if memory serves me right and was made in the mid to late 1890's. Wilson Bohannan has been making padlocks since 1860 and they're still making them today. That's a great piece of history you have there. I also like the "Police Brace" suspender Clip, Congrats and thanks for sharing!!! "D"

I guess the padlock is older than I thought, thx for the comments and info!

Those are great relics. I like that old padlock, and the Tootsie Toy car.

Nice stuff. I'm not even a lock guy but that one looks really nice! That Victorian latch is cool too!
