Matron Head Large Cent

[flakefinder]

Well went to a new site a house built around the 1900 , the owner is a friend of my MDing Partner. the first hour we had found nothing but clad and some odds and ends, I had worked my way out towards the road where there were some big trees and a bank that slops down to the road. I had worked a round the first tree and was headed for the next when I got a solid 90, I was thinking sliver but was real surprised when I first saw it I looked about the size of a 50 cent piece. Then I noticed the patina and knew it was copper, I knew I had a large cent , will pretty sure I went over the the hose and washed it off. I was in shock when her head appeared and the stares around the edge but was kind of bummed when I saw the hole in the coin where someone had wore it around their neck. Here's some pic of today's find. If any one can tell me about that bullet , I would be thankful. Never thought I would find a large Cent in Michigan, it made my day.

Bullet looks like some type of hollowpoint wadcutter, .45 ACP lead, non jacketed maybe?

It's hard to tell the size of the bullet from the pic but this is about the size of a 45. ACP casing and all, but thanks for the info and taking a look, Good Hunting.
