Yes a nice date atom my first 1919. These coins were from my honey hole. Something was going on out there in the bush, I'm thinking a gambling spot. Or a spot where they were melting the coins down for their preious metal content. One area had literally 30 silvers scattered around . So not sure why and there be so many more out there so many signals . But the odd milk bottle cap. Lead sinker, bottle caps it's very annoying and time consuming,
I'm getting gopro footage

How to tell the difference between a musket ball with a hole and a lead sinker. This has that that lump on top like the larger ones I find . But this has a hole,
Is it just a lead sinker ?

 

[silver]

Hollow point. :lol:

 

[AtomRat]

Certainly sinker, has a little bit of the casting sprue left on it there .. lol silver

 

[treasureman]

Thanks dudes . Thought so thought I'd double check . Annoying sinkers

Found a new area today with my friend . Two musket balls , heaps of shells. Some very old copper nails . Any takers on how old they are ? Right near the copper nails was the belt buckle that also looks very old. Virgin ground, still a lot more to do there . Also what looks like a iron handle. ? Any takers on what the large iron object is ?
Coming across a lot of this light weight blsck rock that floats that gives signal under metal detector . Is it volcanic ?
