Finally, a gun that fires Mercs!

[halfdime]

Back at the silver farm again this morning, where, for the second straight day, I found .39 . Fortunately, one of the coins was this 42 Merc; otherwise, it was a frustrating hunt. The cottages in this particular area must not have held kids, or kids with any money in their pockets! This little gun was an interesting find; if I remember, it rang as a quarter/half. After I found the Merc, I got an identical signal about a foot away and thought I might have another; it was just a 40something wheat. Oh, well, tomorrow is another day, and there are more than whispers about a teacher strike next week. Looks like my tranquil hunts are over for a while!

You can fire that gun in my yard if you want.

Well at least you found silver and the Indians won.

Now it's on to Boston; now that the Cubs are out, Cleveland has to be the sentimental favorite. In a short series, they can stifle the other team's bats, as the Yankees demonstrated so well. Maybe they'll erase the memory of Jose Mesa!

I am pretty sure that gun is one of the props from the board game "Clue". I remember those pieces from when I was a kid. I guess Colonel Mustard didn't use the gun or maybe he used the gun and stashed it.

I guess that would make him mean Colonel Mustard if he used it! Thanks for the ID.

That revolver is a copy of a Percussion (cap and ball) pepperbox.They were popular in the 1850's-1860's.it had multiple barrels that revolved instead of a cylinder that revolves like our modern day revolvers

I think you're on to something; the end of the barrel has six holes to go with the multiple cylinders.

Nice finds, half!

Good to see your "Silver Farm" is still producing.

...and there are more than whispers about a teacher strike next week. Looks like my tranquil hunts are over for a while!

Thanks for sharing.
