1802 LC from the Button Factory

Hit this site a couple times with a total of 20+ buttons but finally got my first coin. It was the first good signal. Maybe 10 ft from a hand dug well. This is by far my oldest coin to date and my second large cent. The ball registered as aluminum??? Thanks for looking and any info on the variety would be appreciated.
