    Big Key!

    We went out this weekend did a few old houses did not find many old coins just some wheats and some relics of which this is the best one, a huge key, looks like a big door or gate key. This came from an 1830-1840 era house.

    That's a really neat old key, Tony! It really makes you wonder what it opened. Maybe the front door of a mansion?
