Of course no silver, because I'm the King of Clad. This is my first old looking key, but I don't think it's that old because it was only 3 inches deep pretty much where all the clad was. But that key made my day

Congrats on the clad haul and the neat key. That clad adds up and helps fund the hobby. Which coil were you using?

Nice key! It doesn't have to be deep to be old. I found an early 18th century Spanish Pistareen only about 4 inches down in dirt.

I wish I knew how old it is.

That's a cool key. I agree that it doesn't have to be deep to be old.
