Description

The listing, Some Neat Old Metal Detector Finds.... has ended.

Winner of this auctions will get all of the following things found with a metal detector...All were dug up in Falling Waters, West Virginia...
I'm quite certain a few of the things are antique and the others are certainly vintage things...
All items sold As-Is, so make sure to study the pictures to know what you are bidding on...
The key came clean easy and nice, but the other items are a bit dirty and it will be up to the winner to clean them if they so desire...
You decide if this stuff is collectible or just junk:

An old tool that resembles a pair of pliers... I'm guessing it had something to do with making bullets for guns...?
An old skeleton key in nice shape...
Some kind of decorative metal trimming....Unfortunately one side of it was broken off, but still a rather interesting piece...
2 old metal buttons...I can't make out any writing ofnthe front of either, but on the back of one of them I can make out a COLO....If winner chooses to clean them better, they may be able to make out more...?

I did find a few old coins from 1860's-1940's and 2 Civil War bullets around from where I found this stuff, but unsure if these things are in that timeline....(and no I'm not putting the coins and bullets up on here!)

SHIPPING IS FREE!!!

This key looks like a butt plug

Hmm...Well, I guess it makes no difference to me whatever the winner decides to do with it... ;)

Jul 27th, 2013 at 9:24:35 PM PDT by

I am 13 years old and I have a strong interest in these objects!!!!!! Sorry I just love old keys and buttons

Jul 26th, 2013 at 1:31:21 AM PDT by

Keep an eye on this...It could very well go for next to nothing... :)

Jul 26th, 2013 at 1:39:18 AM PDT by

How about 280 credits in about 2 days

Jul 26th, 2013 at 1:49:15 AM PDT by

I can't lower the days, especially since a bid has been placed...280 might win it...You never know what something is going to go for on Listia...

Jul 26th, 2013 at 1:52:26 AM PDT by

Sorry I'm out I ran out of credits but I did raise the price up a bit

Jul 27th, 2013 at 2:26:51 PM PDT by

I appreciate you checking this out and bidding...Much thanks!

The plier looking thing is for black smithing.

Jul 27th, 2013 at 6:24:08 PM PDT by

Ahhh....that would make sense...Thanks for the info!

Jul 27th, 2013 at 6:32:51 PM PDT by

The pliers looking thing is for trimming horses hooves. It's called a nipper.

Jul 28th, 2013 at 9:20:00 PM PDT by

Thanks a bunch for the info...It's great to be able to call them an actual name...!

Jul 29th, 2013 at 1:26:01 AM PDT by

Jul 28th, 2013 at 1:20:42 AM PDT by

Ha! Yeah, sometimes you get questions/comments you really weren't prepared for... ;)

Jul 28th, 2013 at 2:10:31 AM PDT by

Hello fellow detectorist. I also detect a lot around the Dallas, Tx area. Found some nice old stuff and a lot of silver coins. I'm gonna fan & watch ya, fan back. I've got a lot of things I have found over the years I can list here.

Jul 31st, 2013 at 10:12:20 AM PDT by

Definitely will and will be keeping an eye for those auctions...!!!

Jul 31st, 2013 at 1:00:18 PM PDT by

Well, internet finally back! I see we're not done, yet ;-)

Aug 1st, 2013 at 9:19:06 PM PDT by

Yeah, I'm trying to stay awake until the end of it but my eyelids are getting heavy... :)

Aug 1st, 2013 at 10:29:33 PM PDT by

Jul 31st, 2013 at 8:36:24 PM PDT by

Much appreciated!!!

Jul 31st, 2013 at 9:08:51 PM PDT by

That trim piece is awesome!

Aug 1st, 2013 at 12:48:03 PM PDT by

Yeah, even though it was broken I didn't have the heart to simply trash it because of the lovely design....!

Aug 1st, 2013 at 2:17:31 PM PDT by

Manx, will you through a bonus in when I bid over 5,000? ;-)

Aug 1st, 2013 at 1:53:25 PM PDT by

I was going to throw in a couple of other bonuses regardless of what it went for just because...Nothing major, but some other cool little pieces I came across while detecting and rummaging through old junk piles :)

Aug 1st, 2013 at 2:22:47 PM PDT by

That should have said "throw in" lol - that's what I get for using my phone instead of computer! ;-)

Aug 1st, 2013 at 1:56:12 PM PDT by

Ha! No problem-I understood you! :)

Aug 1st, 2013 at 2:23:21 PM PDT by

Thanks, I had to complain about my phone, then I lost internet! Had to drive down the road with my phone :p

Aug 1st, 2013 at 3:27:25 PM PDT by

Well they say internet will be back on in a couple of hours-bad weather here in southern Alabama

Aug 1st, 2013 at 3:28:39 PM PDT by

Sorry...It sounds like rain we could use here in WV...

Aug 1st, 2013 at 3:36:26 PM PDT by

I bought 100 of those type keys - is it a Corbin? About a year ago - if it's the same type, it has a letter and number which correspond with the door lock.

Aug 1st, 2013 at 3:31:15 PM PDT by

Your guess is probably better than mine! I really don't know how to tell the difference between types of keys...I saw a number on it, but no letter...

Aug 1st, 2013 at 3:35:16 PM PDT by

Going back to no internet for awhile :)

Aug 1st, 2013 at 3:32:57 PM PDT by

fxw and will be bidding too.

I'm in it to win it so you bidders better bid high...lol

Aug 1st, 2013 at 7:57:21 PM PDT by

Much thanks....Appreciate it and good luck!

Aug 1st, 2013 at 8:18:24 PM PDT by

The pliers looking item looks like a set of farrier snips for trimming horse's hoofs. Can't tell from angle of photo if it has a notch in it for pulling horse shoe nails or not.

Jul 29th, 2013 at 7:37:42 PM PDT by

Thanks for the info...There was a large farm up until the early 1960's on the land I found them on...!

Jul 29th, 2013 at 9:53:52 PM PDT by

Jul 29th, 2013 at 1:24:56 AM PDT by

do you have any spare headphones for a white metal detector?

Jul 28th, 2013 at 6:31:04 AM PDT by

No, I only have one pair for myself...

Jul 29th, 2013 at 1:16:27 AM PDT by

F&w I'm just interested in the key :)

Jul 27th, 2013 at 10:57:17 PM PDT by
