Dug this today. I didn't try to open it but it looks like it may have held a picture or something once. It was about 4" down in the yard of a old house. Any ideas what it is exactly? Should I oil it and try to open it or would it probably just break? It's copper but looks like it had gilt on it at one time! image-3868620449.webp image-3260688104.webp

That's what I would do....soak it in some penetrating oil.....WD40 or the like.

Yes of the wd 40, we would say a pendant to put a photo or hair inside.

I oiled it and got it open without breaking it. I only went as far as I needed and just soil inside. If there was something in there it's rotted away. It was defiantly a locket. On the plus side the oil made it look a lot better. I'll post a oiled picture soon! :)
Also how do you put "solved" up beside the thread title????
