    Here's your padlock in one piece: http://www.laurelleaffarm.com/item-p...no-s012935.htm
    I think it's a Slaymaker

    Not sure of the second photo
    Photo 3 I think may be off an old wood stove.
    Photo 4 looks to maybe be a piece of an old locket?
    Photo 5 Might be an antique hair clip (barrette) that has been flattened? Just guessing here though, if maybe the pin was broken off?
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
    Oldest Relic find: 1800 Sailors Luck token

    Nice head scratchers. I would think that pic #4 may also be half of a hair barrette. Found one similar earlier this year.
