Many cruel joke this hobby played on me today. But maybe some surprises.

[Truth]

Not to give up easy I took my 800 to the park I found a original US Civil War Kepi Hat Badge Stamped Brass Infantry Horn Uniform Insignia Pin. Everything is very deep in sandy soil which is next to the river that overflows a lot. Well cruel deep jokes where played on me by the swinging gods. First about a foot down in thought I had what looked like a belt plate, but was just a square piece a brass with many holes along the edges. Then still having that half dime bust I found on my mind I pull out this at 9” 1949 PLAY MONEY!! (My hands where shaking I’m not gonna lie)
Now this was deep hoping MAYBE part of a old gun
Then I got this round ball. I do hope this might be real. It’s .69 at 42.6 grains

Any good news is always welcomed. Lol
Thanks for looking[emoji4]

I always forget my cool glass in find

That sucks.. I have been there. Maybe you didn't fill some holes and the metal detecting gods are getting back at you?

I think the odd thing is a closer/clasp/locker for an old 19th to early 20th century window.

How the heat treating you? The humidity is choking me to death over here. My dad’s side of the family, including my dad, lives in Rockwall Tx which is right outside Dallas I think.

P.S. Louisiana lives Texas

Truth I don't know if you misstated the weight of that .69 cal. ball. If you truly meant to say grain and not gram (I'm not familiar with gram wt), that would be too light for lead.

The play money is interesting. If it’s the Texas flag, it’s signaling ‘distress ‘ and a call for help as its upside down. (Texas flag the white field is above the red). I’m a 3rd generation Czech, natural born Texan.
