| Florida East Coast Railroad "STATE" Mystery Find. |
It had been raining so I got the urge to go see if anything got exposed by the rain. Rain erosion also exposes things, and I always like to check out any extensive rain erosion, especially when there has been other earth movement, such as construction, uprooted trees or whatever. So I taook a little walk, where two or three years ago I was detecting railroad artifacts not too far from the tracks, and noticed the above object that had just been exposed. It was near a new fences, so it could have been dug up for the fence.
The object, which looks a lot like a spark plug to me, reads, "FLORIDA EAST COAST RAILROAD" and "STATE." There might also be a tin star, but I'm not sure if that is a star at the bottom of the circle between FLORIDA and RAILROAD.
My best guess it is a spark plug, but it is not exactly like any I've seen before. What do you think? Any and all thougths welcome.

| Eight Reale - Fake or Real? Found by Jody 210. |
This coin was dug by Jody210 at an 1800s site back in May, as reported in CoinCommunity.com.
So do you think it is fake or real? It is a pretty obvious fake or counterfeit. There are several things wrong with it. It is a known counterfeit that appears in the book, Counterfeit Portrait Eight-Reales: The Un-real Reales (Counterfeit Eight-Reales (2014) by Robert Gurney.
Sound like a very interesting book. One that I don't yet have.

Nothing much new on the storms/hurricane map.
The high tides are still pretty high, but not quite as big as yesterday.
Good hunting,
