"Plantation House...built in the 1840's" 2 1/2 hr hunt"

Great weather! Great location! Made for some really nice finds! Ibbasser and myself hunted for 2 1/2 hours and found a total of 18 coins....1916, 1918, 1925, & 4 wheaties in the 1940's and 50's. Ibbasser got lucky with the two merc dimes dated 1938, and 1942.....and a possible boot SPUR??, My most interesting find was DINKY VINTAGE PLANE G-AVKW (pretty good condition). Something i find interesting is the long span of dates between the coins we found!! "HAPPY HUNTING" until next time....Ibfinding something!! see ya! Hope the pictures turn out ok!

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! Hunting with friends is always great! Pictures need to be better though! I can barely make out the coins...

Here is a little info on your cool little toy. Looks like it maybe missing some pontoons? Cool find though.

63b Mercury Seaplane: Cast body with two floats 70 X 102mm 2 1/2' long with a 4" wing span and made from 1946-53 G-AVKW registration on wings. Nice complete example in great condition for the age.

What are the chances that the pontoons for the plane are still there? A little JB-Weld an WaLa maybe worth 1/2. Nice hunt anyway. D.D.
