That is cool make sure theres not a chest or box burried in that spot and the lock rusted off. Just a thought

Nice. Mid to late 1800's is my guess! [emoji106]

Awesome relic recovery, I bet it will clean up nicely.

I'm with you Freddie. Sometimes I like finding relics like that old padlock, just as much or more than coins anymore, and I've always considered myself a coin shooter.

It's not really old at all , They still sell these at Wal-Mart.

For real tho ...Pretty darn old, Has the brass face to ...A =def +.

If it wasn't for that brass face sounding like a coin I probably wouldn't have dug it
