very odd 1833 coin

[wwwtimmcp]

I got out for a few hours of hunting and found an 1833 dated coin, it is just smaller and thinner than a large cent. on the rim above the 1833 date the word "detroit" appears, on the flip side it looks like a sailboat and with the words weather hand below the sailboat.another 5lbs of sinkers and decoy weights, a live .38 special round and several fishing lures. been getting bit by these damned water fleas, anyone else here in the great lakes plagued by these ? yesterday I saw another idiot tear off his outdrive on the reef.

Nice finds there. I don't know about the 1833 coin/token Someone should be able to help out on that one. Every time I hunt the local lakes I end up with a bunch of sinkers. I figure it must be a good thing to get that lead out of the water. Nice going there.

I just put the lead in my bc pocket. I am hoping the 1833 coin is some kind of medal issued to able bodied seamen to prove they are capable of working on merchant ships. I have heard of these but never seen one myself. I forgot to add there was a miniature toy pistol found too. hopefully one of the board members has info on the 1833 coin/token.

Lol mate go get his propeller off the reef, if it is a stainless one you can get good money for them. I was once with a mate here in new zealand and we came across a reef system that is covered at high tide and exposed at low tide, we found the bottom half of a leg off an outboard, attached was a stainless 4 blade prop in good nick. guy must have been humming when he got the fright of his life. Anyway to cut a story short he sold it for $350 and we had the next 5 fishing trips on the house.

whenever there is one idiot on land there is 2 on the water. go get your prize me boy

I've got 4 lower legs and 3 lower outboard legs, 2 rudders,and about 100 propeller pieces, brass,bronze,aluminum,stainless. I called around but nobody wanted any of it. the gears and shafts are still good and 2 of the props are definately fixable but nobody wanted them. I pulled them to keep them from driving the towfish crazy. 4 nice anchors this year alone too. if I get a chance I'll pull the coin today while mom is in dialysis and reshoot the photo.

happy hunting to all.
