Complete 1800s lock

Complete 1800's lock

Did a quick hunt at a new permission site. It's very large but looks very promising. Multiple houses were once located on it. My favorite find of the day is the complete lock but found a few other goodies. I wonder what the big anchor thing is. I was thinking maybe for a horse harness or possibly a button of some type? Any help would be appreciated. I can't wait to get back and do a proper hunt of the property. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

I've never dug one of those big old locks! The button sort of has a "shipping button" look to it.

What is on the back of that anchor thing?

I'm not always the one to dig those bigger hits but glad I did this time.

I will put up a picture later but the back is gone. It's not hollow though which is weird.

Love the lock! Good luck on the rest of the property.

Super busy time of year for me but I squeeze hunts in whenever I can. I know there is some old silver and coins lurking around there somewhere! [emoji2]

" a few old house sites ?"

That sounds really cool rigth there.
That lock is a good find IMO, have never got one either. and I would like one, as I have a RR switch key that would go with it nicely.
The "BIG" button IDK...
Your season should be winding down soon ?

One season down and two to go and I'll have some longer times. I'm hoping to meet up with you somewhere sometime this summer for a good hunt. You ever hunt in the black rock/harbourville area out your way? I got some great leads from fisherman there and one of the wives even wrote a local history book about the area with maps,locations,etc. one guy will even take us to some spots and leave us to it!

I did a bit of a hunt "near" Black Rock once, a spot that has a rather big legend attached to it, anyway hope you soon get a day off, and Yes that would be cool, esp. if you have some good "current" info.

Again the lock is a good find, I have a ton of old coins, and NOT one old lock.

Haha!
I kind of regret not taking a shot when it was caked with dirt. I was in a hurry to to rinse in off I guess! [emoji2]
