Old ball field produces silvers and relics

[toasted]

Haven't been hunting much on account of hot weather, lack of good sites and family stuff. Finally got to hit an old ball field that has been there since at least a 1957 aerial photo. It was a weird hunt that produced a lot of clad and memorials but only two wheaties. Scored more silver than wheaties so not complaining. One of the Rosie's is a key date(1949) in the series if you can call it thatAlso got an infantry pin, cuff link and possibly my first skeleton key but it appears to be partly made of iron.

Very nice coin shoot and relic hunt!

Congratulations, great finds. One of the best parts of this hobby, if we can't get there for a while for whatever reason. Odds are the goodies will wait for us.

Yeah it could be a clock key. I just want it to be a skeleton key though.

Nice day man. Those kinds of days will make you forget all about how hot it is.

Nice group of silvers, and I really like the infantry badge

Nice finds Toasted. Looks like there was a silver lining for you on that hunt. In my opinion you have a skeleton key. I have dug many clock keys and skeleton keys, and the clock keys tend to have a wider handle with more metal on it so you can grab it with your fingers and twist it to wind the clock. If you look at the tip of yours, it also seems to have the 2 stubs where the pieces came off from the shaft. Most clock keys were hollow on the end so you could insert it into the clock stem to wind it.
