First good find. Civil war bullet and nudie coin

[peeboo]

Finally got to detect after moving from Alaska and having a baby. I couldn't go out much with the new baby so I detected in my yard. Stir crazy.
In 45 mins I had found a civil war bullet!!! And a nudie coin! I don't know much about either item but that's the first worth while thing I've found since starting the hobby.
and if anyone can give me info on my finds it is appreciated.
Bullet was found a few inches down in my gravel driveway and coin was found in front of house 4-5 inches down.
Thanks for looking!

Congratulations on your backyard results.
So sad that we have to carry a sidearm while swinging a coil in the neighborhood.

there are collectors for the coin. do Ebay sold search in coins>exonumia>tokens. I sold a Gillette heads/tails brass a few years back for $12. plenty of the boobies version have sold
