Good morning GB, Miss Beeps, Bart and Rusty.
How's life ?

View attachment 1752064 this could be a good one.....it might be the long lost and heavily searched for "Guerrero" a very famous pirate slaver that sank somewhere here in keylargo. This would be a huge deal if it is....so I must check this one next. This one is deeper but I should be able to tell a lot by the type of ballast. Whatever it is it's a big one. I don't think anyone else has found this pile yet. It just popped up recently !!

I'd be camping on it overnight. Arm the watch with cutlasses and rig to repel boarders!

Sorry Bart, I didn't see a vote for your coin, or I would have.

Tryin' to learn about Artillery solid spherical shot is confusing! What ball went to what gun, etc.

I'll be turning 17 in less than a month, so I laid out my demands.

A. The whole family goes to Perryville Battlefield for the day.

B. Everybody in the family, (including myself) chips in $25-$50 for an inert Solid Shot, or Hotchkiss nose.

Think it'll work?

If not, I'll draw a picture of a Hotchkiss, and put it on my relic shelf...although shouldn't that be reserved for girls? Paper doll relics?

With .......(6) 9 pounders,(1) 24 pounder,(14) 12 pounders it would make a nice payday
