metal detecting

So yesterday I was detecting and got a very good copper/bronze signal 8 inches down. Dug down about 9 inches in 30 minutes until I saw the edge of an object I tried to get it out but then I gave up and after some time to convince me to get it out I tried and it took me an hour to finally unearth...

I am a newbie to the craft, however I have found myself completely in love with the hunt. I was searching to see if there are anyone near me. I would love to join a club and gain some experience. I have been metal detecting for about a month. I have logged about 60 hours thus far. I learning...

So, a week ago I found my first buckle, a quite large and heavy (46.5 g) buckle: It wasn't quite deep because of the very hard soil. I think the pin in the buckle is made out of iron and the buckle itself is made out of copper or bronze. I also think it's of a horse strap. I'm not familiar...

Does anyone know what this is? I'm 99% sure it's from World War 2. I found it at sandbridge beach Virginia (in VA beach). P.S. It's made of copper if you didn't already figure it out. (Not sure why my pics are sideways.)

Yesterday I found a musket ball: And today I found a possible musket ball: They are made of led and the first one weighs about 12 grams and the second one about 5-6 grams. So I want to know how much mine are worth. Thank you
