I went to a field I have hunted a few times before and found a few old relics . The lock looks like brass and has T Slaigh? Paten and Newark on it . I can't make out all the letters in the name . There is a story of someone or some people that robbed a train over close to where I found this . I wonder what the odds are that this may be part of the lock that the train robbers may have run off with :huh:

You never know if it indeed may be part of the lock :thinkingabout: I hope it is. :yes: Is that a copper ring you found? Anything engraved on the front of it? Good little relic hunt!
