Man, Congratulations. I hope you can make the most of this in the short time you have and get a chance at the fill piles as well.
So this was original fill for the road and railway?
I'd love to hear some more about "Shaggy Cannon", he sounds like a legend.

Yes plz. I was going to ask about those little cannons?

just shootin from the hip here i think those minature bronze cannons came from Athocha off keywest which went down in 1662 ,1733 wrecks had no bronze cannon aboard as in big cannon or bronze spike in quanity...they had discovered iron was cheaper and cost less..sounds like today made in china...HEHE

BTW- You gotta know "Shaggy" is up there smilin' at you right now. You done him proud!!

I'll explain the history and characters involved over the years at this spot....it was a genuine treasure spot that many of the greats cut there teeth on. Ill continue like Jeff says on my banner thread. Mark got a killer old bottle yesterday.
