Congrats on digging the skeleton key. Does it fit any door locks in your house?

That's a great looking key! Always make me wonder about what the key unlocked, and what it felt like when they realized the key was missing...

Cool.. I'd trade all my new keys for one of those babies!

Previous owner updated our house in 2000. Original part dates to 1850ish. This key doesn't fit anything here anymore. They bulldozed some of the original house so I hope to find more relics. Problem is they bulldozed right through the cemetery behind the house, and that's where I need to dig.

I found a similar key in my yard. It did fit an old door lock inside. Finding skeleton keys in one's own yard must be a Jersey thing. lol

Those are fun to find, especially when you can tie it into a house or building that was there. They always show nice in the display case too. Congrats!

Yep,, Skeleton keys and Keyholes.
Two of my favorite things to find.
Congrats on a cool find.

I love finding old keys. There's all sorts of them out there. Here's some of mine.



I like finding the locks too.
