| Recently Dug 2016 Mystery Nickel with NRA and Eight Ball Stamped on It. Find and Photos by Mark G. |
Mark just found the above nickel while metal detecting. The nickel does not show much detail other than the NRA and Eight Ball stamped on it. It is verhy worn, but he managed to make out the date, which is 2016. I think I can see a bit of the memorial on the NRA sides.
Can anyone tell use more about this stamped nickel?
Thanks in advance.

The above illustration can be found in an article Soldiers and Sunshine: Article 1 - Forts on the Florida Frontier by Molly Thomas.
That is just one of the articles in the Spring/Summer 2018 issue of the Indian River Journal.
Another article in that issue that I really enjoyed was about electricity coming to Titusville.
