DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 7:49 pm Had me perplexed at first - super lightweight (it is aluminum) and before clearing off some of the muck, I swore it was a supersized Mercury. It is about the size of a quarter. French Reunion 2 Francs. Not worth much but a super interesting find for my neck of the woods. Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 8:13 pm Interesting foreign find. We've had a mild winter in SE Wisconsin allowing me to get out a number of times in 2023. In the 40s tomorrow and I hope all the snow is melted by Tuesday when I can get out again.

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 8:22 pm Went to HS in Lake Geneva :-) Folks live in Chicago, I'm visiting in mid-April and def bringing the gear. Their house is 110 years old and never been swung. Under the big pines is my winter go to. The only thing really visible on this was the Mercury-style Wing so, at first glance, my response was HUH.
