First finds

[H2Ofowler]

Just started the hobby not long ago by buying a AT Pro. Been out a few times before and only found tons of nails, tabs and other trash. Taking a while to learn the ropes but finally paid off this evening while hunting a creek bank.



Not sure if the pictures worked its my first time posting but between all the trash I found a 1908 Indian head and a 1864 2 cent coin. The other I'm not sure about and need some help. I want to say its a fired musket ball but I've never seen one so could just be and old piece of lead? I know there's a lot of civil war history around being in culpeper va so I'm hoping its my first bullet.

Congrats on some old coins... I have yet to find a 2 cent. Looks like you're quickly learning the detector. GL & HH

Do you know most of us haven't found a 2 cent! Including me. Nice IH too! Only lead I found is round so maybe someone can chime in on that. GL. &. HH!

Congrats on a great hunt. Nice coins and it sure looks like a fired ball to me. The patina looks right.
