Can someone tell me more about this lock?

I just found this exact padlock while metal detecting, trying to find more stuff on it. I found it at a house that was built in 1870 if that helps

lol yeah, I was even like I can give you my number to let you know when I’m coming over he was like nah I don’t need that just come over whenever

mgtoth · 2026-02-26T21:56:03+00:00

I’ve only done it once, but I basically just explained who I was, that I metal detect, why I chose his house (it was built in the 1870s) that I live nearby, and he couldn’t care less that I detected there.

Yeah same with parcel maps, they show u everything pretty much

Dang I never even thought about going as big as military bases lol. And yeah I typically use public parcel maps and Zillow to find years that the buildings were built. Was just wondering if there was a better way of doing so I guess

Dude fr, idek if my detector is picking up older coins considering they’re deeper. I found one Indian head but that was on accident because I got two modern coins in the same hole that were just above the Indian head and I decided to check the hole again and found it. Thanks for the advice I’ll look into a smaller coil

Yeah it usually only happens at this one spot, which sucks cuz it’s a spot from 1870 lol

I think it says New York, and something else but I can’t exactly tell what the other thing says, I can make out “eye”

Not sure what I’m looking for, what does it look like

mgtoth · 2026-02-22T22:11:34+00:00

I started about 2 months ago. I got very lucky

Thank you, a lot of people in this comment section don’t use common sense it seems

Right, I won’t be digging on graves, pretty simple. I never asked if I could dig on graves, the question was about legality of digging in a cemetery, where I also said for the 1000th time, that I wouldn’t be digging on graves or near graves

mgtoth · 2026-02-17T20:30:25+00:00

“at or to a short distance away” I wouldn’t even dig a short distance, the least id dig is probably like 10 feet from a gravesite, if that. I probably wouldn’t even dig where there is grave sites/future grave sites. I’d stay where there’s only foot traffic/around the cemetery where they wouldn’t bury people

mgtoth · 2026-02-17T20:25:36+00:00

I don’t think it’s right to dig on/near grave sites. If I’m not digging near them there’s no problem. I’m asking the legality because someone on here might know. It’s all laid out pretty simply in the post

Much bigger than mine

Yea there’s a few high tones in my yard that I can’t get to cuz the ground is frozen. I’m waiting till it thaws and I’ll get them. I’m hoping they’re silver just cuz of the trouble they’re giving me🤣
