Well this was an interesting find, any guesses on the age?

I went back to an old home site I visited a couple of weeks ago and got this signal on my old Whites Coinmaster 6000 indicating it was either a pretty large target of a highly mineralized spot, but it wasnt to deep (bout 4-5') so I dug it and this was it. I have no idea how old it is or how long it had been there, but its in remarkably good shape for being buried for many years. Its SOOO grown up there that you can hardly walk so I know its been there a while. Anyway, just wondered if anyone here can help out aging this thing? Gonna try to get the door working on it.

Yep! You gotta do it Dirt Slinger! Build a stove around that door! I know of this one dope who built a boat around a cool brass propellor he found.
