That lock is unreal I think it deserves find of the month, :eek: It should be totally brass? It would be worth talking to your local locksmith to see if it could be serviced.
It may have been an old rail building lock.
 
Apparently the circular Y&T logo was die cast and removable, vs the rest of the lock being brass. This was to allow other companies to attach their own logos to the lock. ;)

this rotten weather kept me in all day.
In the end i just bit the bullet, and got soaked for my effort :(
But i was rewarded too :D

It maybe a bronze doorhandle., it looks hand size? are there thread holes in the flange? cool finds :cool:
 
Pretty cool relic Sandta, don't know whether he'd like to have ash flicked in his face. :D You don't see too many 10 Pence coins coming from the ground, even if it is modern.
 
A different date for a change on the Florin, seems that .925 florins are almost becoming rarity these days for detectorists. :)
