Makes you wonder . . .

Why would a guy lose a padlock? Why was he walking around with a padlock? What was he going to do with it? Did he need a padlock to lock up something valuable (to keep the "bad guys" out)?

Sorry.... I didn't realize the question was asked and answered already
Wow.... That Good Luck lock would be worth every dime to get a key made for.... I've never seen anything quite like it... I could only find one example that resembles it fairly close... an 1879 BELLAMY'S "GOOD LUCK" BRASS PADLOCK... It looks pretty close anyhow.... I can see that lock on a small antique carriage trunk... perfect place to keep the loot...

that’s a good idea i’ll have to look into that

I would get it keyed and then lock your detector up. Maybe a little good luck will rub off.
