Detecting places that others had beat to death was the tone of today. Also asked permission at a couple houses and got completely shot down based on their experience with detectorists in the past.
Found a few buttons though. One has what looks like a whole lot of gold gilt under the dirt. Will rinsing it off with water before I get some naval jelly hurt it in any way?
I also found what looks and feels like a long,minie ball. Is it even a bullet or a different kind? I found a fired minie ball in this same yard so what do you all think? I put the bottle cap in the pic for size. It also has the cavity in the base shown in the other picture.
After watching some nuggetnoggin YouTube videos I figured I'd give woods hunting a try and is where I started today. It was a complete bust other than the Pepsi cola bottle surface find. Really wish it was whole
Thanks for looking and reading !!!
