A Mercury, 5 Wheat Cents, Harmonica Reed And A Whatsit

[Sooper Dave]

Went back today to an old homesite to try and pull some good signals out between all the trash. There are so many signals and beeps it sounds like my detector is spitting out Morris Code. But that means the place has had a lot of traffic throughout the years. Managed to pull out 5 Wheats, oldest is 1934 the Mercury is a 1942. Harmonica reed is cool but have no idea of its age. The looped piece is made of brass and looks like it belongs on a trigger guard

Silver = Victory! You walked out a winner! Nice Find!
