Got A Nice Brass Lock In The Woods Today :bouncy:

My buddy and I got together for a woods hunt today. We both brought along our GTI's using the sniper coils.It's getting colder, but still no snow. The small creeks and rivers are now pretty well frozen over. Still......you can remove targets in the woods as the dirt is very dry.

I found a lot of glue tubes today. Sniffing glue out of a paper bag was quite common for teenagers some years back. Today they smoke weed or crack. Anyhow, I managed to dig up some loot and some interesting targets.

This is about my 5th Bayer Aspirin tin that I have dug up. This one was filled with black dirt, buried at about 4 inches. I saw one ad on EBay where an empty tin in great shape (no pills) was starting at $6.50.

It's aways nice to get a silver coin. They are really getting scarce. That old shotgun shell was made in England by the ELEY company, which started manufacturing ammunition at about 1824.

And I dug up an old brass pad lock. It's the smallest one I have ever dug. There are no stamps to help ID it as to who made it or when. It's a great addition to my collection.

Neat relics. I remember those tins when the product cost only about a buck or so. Maybe less, it's been a long time.
