First gun and a copper

[jss1216]

Out detecting after a month off for surgery and I find my first gun. Heavy for its size - likely a ladies derringer?

Also found this copper coin and i have no idea yet - soaking to remove dirt ---






Will upload better pics later.


Just nice to be out again.

New pic--- very afraid to clean

Probably a cap gun....but still always a fun one to zap in the tank.

Maybe a Geo. i or a Late Geo. iii (1806/7). Can't really see the bottom of the bust. Very nice
