Hit a local park this weekend. Found a complete pancake lock. The spring motion in the latch still moves, not frozen up, just need to find the key now…
About 10’ away was the aluminum token spill. The old spoon looks to be for a specific use, pretty small.
I’ve seen several coyotes metal detecting the woods, but always at a distance. This poor devil was stuck between protective fences about a quarter mile long. He just kept running back and forth. We couldn’t figure out how he got stuck in there, but the park rangers were notified and on their way. Hopefully to free him????

Hopefully to euthanize it. Coyote's are a serious threat to livestock and pets. Nice finds though!

Great finds! That is a nice-looking lock! The coyote does seem to have a troubled look. Congratulations on the finds and thanks for posting!
