Like hunthicks post, we started off at a very early cellar hole with little to show for our efforts (in the woods) except for hunthicks butt plate…guess some people just didn't lose things… Started along the beach and hit a 1950's junk pile but the further up the beach we got away from the junk and started pulling out french musket balls then I pulled out this crown missing a piece of it…we were both convinced that it was gold the way it came out of the ground as the dark muddy beach leaves brass and copper finds shiny…this is made out of thin brass…any idea the era of this crown anyone? I then hit this low tone on the explorer and this cannonball thing (3rd pic) came out of the mud, but didn't make sense as they alway come in as high tones…It's made out of some type of metal but lighter than a cannonball… thought I wouldn't see a cannonball today, but just before dark I get that old high tone sound and can't believe this is my 4th one this year (4 pounder), no marking but you can see the seam mark…also managed 3 ringers and a Victorian Canada Militia button and the only coin for the day was slightly more than half a Geo II…thanks for looking…
