Finally got back in the saddle today, albeit in a limited role..I hit a location which is roughly 150-175 yards away from a Revolutionary war battle site (perfectly legal) in which on July 16, 1779 a battle incurred where Sir Henry Clinton's men were defending a fort on the Hudson river when "Mad" Anthony Wayne and his crack "Forlorn Hope" soldiers "General Wayne chose the recently formed Light Infantry Brigade, consisting of 1,200 of the best soldiers in the Continental Army, for the assault."
That being said, on a beach roughly 25 yards long I started to hunt, first hit followed by four more yielded these strange heavy round balls, I do not think they are cannon/canister ordinance because I have found them before and they looked nothing like this.
Then I get a coin hit about 5 ft away, This one has me spellbound, while the coin is clearly cooked, given the location and the very faint design on it, it "May" be a colonial. Thinking initially, it may be a rotted large cent, I compared the two together, nope the unknown coin is bigger...hmm...I may do a charcoal etching with paper to see if I can draw any design out of it, kinda like whats done with tombstones.
O and two bottles, a Larkin co and an unknown
