Went out in the lake for the first time this year and got a 1940 Merc some clad and a surprise. I pulled this Key on a chain out of the scoop and thought it was just another lost key. Well I cleaned it up and looked it up on the web and found it was a little more than just another lost key. :D Just look up "Made in Russwin USA" I love the old swimming hole:cool3:

Congrads on the Mercury and the Interesting key! The old stuff never fails to amaze.
 
Thanks for the positive comments guys. It was good to be back in the lake again. My detector went on the fritz shortly after finding the Russwin Key so I boxed it up to send back to Whites for an overhaul. I bought it new in 2010 and it has been great. So I should be back in business in 4-6 weeks. Good luck to all, Jim
