Hello to all! Isn't it wonderful to have a touch of Spring!? thawing ground, yes! i decided to head to my spot by the old house foundation where the wedding band and GAR button were unearthed, go over it pretty well, and call it "mostly cleaned out" if nothing good was found. i've been there a couple of times recently and found only trash. i was having a great time even before i found a thing, listening to the Spring peepers- what a nostalgic sound! i started in a section that i didn't think i had checked real methodically. but after finding the usual shotgun cap and some unidentifiable scraps, i was thinking that maybe it was mostly cleaned out. not long after, I got sort of an odd signal, couldn't begin to guess what it might be, and dug this what i think is the front half of a padlock, but have no idea what the insignia might be. i was quite happy with it! just a few minutes later i found in a plug what i initially thought was a lump of lead, but as i wiped it off a little, i saw that there was an outline of something there. when i wiped it in the grass more and saw it was a chicken, i had to laugh- i got chickens last Spring after wanting them for a very long time, and have since then received many chicken collectible items from my family who think that i'm very funny with my hens. icouldn't wait to get it home and show everyone. they appreciated it, too! thanks for looking, and if you have any ideas about the two items, i'd be glad to have you share them! Happy Spring hunting!!

Re: lovely weekend for padlocks and chickens

Yup it's official you are now a chicken collector but still nice finds. :thumbsup:
 
i hope noone minds, but i wanted to change the title and move this to the top, since i am thinkin after some internet research that the item is not a padlock. it does not look like the padlocks i've found looking at "images" search for antique padlocks. I have no idea now what it is. there is a moveable part on the top (or bottom, as the case may be). i think i'll also put it on the "what is it" column.
 
Nice finds mate
