I’ve never found a coin like this, any help is greatly appreciated.

bicentennial. Dates look like 1789-2797?

 

I also found one of those Presidential coins in the yard of the house I am currently living in just recently and a friend that came and detected with me in a park across the street from my house also found one

No, I’m not positive, my buddy I hunt with said that’s what it looked like.

here’s a few pictures, let me know your thoughts. Thanks 

Well I'm certainly no authority on Minie Balls. I see no evidence of a conical base but it is pretty mangled. The caliber might be too small. Plus, most dug Minie Balls are white from being in the ground for well over a century.

Maybe one of the bullet experts out there can chime in.

If I didn’t see those rings on it, it would be in a trash can somewhere most certainly.

since I found a bust capped dime that’s worn to crap, and a large cent, that’s worn to nothing also, in this same park,  it does seem like a possibility.  
 

It is mangled, looks like it’s a piece of an older bullet.

Unfrozen ground envy I guess.....

Thanks, in  NC we can basically hunt year round, at least in this area.  Ground really doesn’t freeze.  But it does get cold in January, February.  

The sea turtle was coming up a 12 on the Nox 800 in the Tot lot.  I don’t see any markings on it thou, I was hoping it was gold with those numbers.

I used to live in Nashville . No room for a detector in my road kit then.

Figured the audio toys were more important. Silly me !🤩
