I hit my usual spot again and came up with a couple more "relics"s.
My first lock--reads PATE M???????? on the dust cover--letters are hand stamped. Also, something that looks like a wrench. A bolt--may be a cannonball fuse, a piece of a brass button and a rosette that appears to be silver washed copper.
All iron is in need of electrolysis.
My site dates back to the late 1700's and time stopped in 1865. I am trying to date the lock to verify the age of the site.
