I’m jealous, I’ve got feet of snow, and 10 below at night, I’m gonna have to drive hours to go digging!

and I’m gonna.

Hey OB,

Welcome to the forum. ? Here's a shot out my back door 24 hours later...

Hope you can find a place to go! ? My first year I could walk out my front door and detect, this year the fields in front of my house are planted so I have to drive about 40 minutes away to this place, got another about 5 minutes up the road. Mid Atlantic weather changes a lot.

My wife is happy, the snow will stop me from “gophering “ the yard!

Nice digs. I've never found a skeleton key. I'm all snowed in too and it's been below zero the last few days.

Nice pix, and nice play-by-play.

Thanks Rick. We'll be out again by the weekend, huge weather swings this time of year, it's going into the 60s for a while starting tomorrow, it was 24 this morning. I'm done with snow. ? Sorry you're snowed out of your places.

Love the old locks. The other thing looks like a draw pull.

At first I thought so too, but it's pretty heavy. Old drawer pulls were lighter so as not to damage the wood or the brass back plate. But maybe this one wasn't hinged... ?

Maybe a small door knocker.

Not all of them ?

Only the clad quarter was dug.  I don't know what the upper RH item is, but it doesn't hinge.  All the rest do.  But jury is still out on yours -- so many things it could be.
