My favorite old ball field keeps giving up goodies! More silver, more wheats, old Ford key, buttons, clad, and an old Coca Cola pocket knife!!

Hit my 9th silver from my favorite old textile mill baseball field (29th overall)... a very nice 1945 Merc! Also found 5 more wheats, a couple of old buttons, an old Ford key (any idea of the age?), and a Coca Cola Bottling Co. pocketknife!!!! Pretty corroded but still cool! The back says "Delicious and Refreshing". Any idea of the age or the best way to clean it up???

That is a Model T key my friend. What number is on the back? I have found 2 of them.

Thanks for the replies! The key is corroded pretty well so not sure of the number yet. Any ideas how to clean it up and still see the number?

I ran mine through the tumbler with the pennies for about an hour and a half. Mine wasn't quite as crusty as yours though.
