checking over sites i'd already gone over pretty good here in miami fl., I finally found at least another wheatie, which kept me going through the fatigue until I got another hot signal, looked like the odd piece of brass or copper detritus, or a big cast iron broken piece of whatever that I'd already dug a bunch of, when I see that white silvery gleaming edge of a disk in the dirt, then i see text along the rim, booya! my first Benjamin half.
Stopped at my dad's to show him the 12' stuffed marlin I'd picked up that morning at a moving sale for $50 and get some refreshment, and after a rest up, felt like swinging the old axe over his 1925 yard yet again. So much iron pipe and old brass sprinkler heads under the grass, very difficult to get everything. Got a coin signal close to one of the sprinkler heads, probably why I'd missed it before, out pops yet another Merc from his yard. Found another wheatie right on top of one of the pipes, too. Near the old fountain, dug up a flattened .22 bullet, pretty deep, may have been shot into the ground.
The 12 gauge shell head was made sometime after the invention of the center primer and the first decade of 20th century when UMC was merged with Remington. It's from one of the 7 Long keys in Davie Fl., I'd left it in a basket and forgot to document it in earlier posts.
