The Indians of Mercury Cove

Went back down to the beach again at lunch yesterday and dug an Indian head penny on my first signal, not 12 inches from where the Merc was found. That's three coins off this beach and I am officially convinced it was heavily used in the early 1900's. I am also finding a lot of early 20th century shell casings and bullets. I guess they were down there shooting each other for pocket change. Anyway, the Indian turned out to be a 1908 and cleaned up rather well, leaving a fine green patina.
