I was out in my very junkie park where you will find 3 - 4 pop tops, pull tabs, foil pieces in literally every square foot around the picnic tables.
I took my Nox 800 with my 6-inch coil to hunt round an old flag pole near the picnic tables. I was hunting in park two which is ideal for this type of junk laden park.
Was hunting pretty much by tones in the 50 tone setting which is default for Park2. Got a pretty solid 26-27 and dug up what I thought was button because it was filled in with sandy dirt. Soon realized it was a shot penny.
Found a bullet about 1 foot away and it fits the hole, but won't pass through the hole. The bullet measures 9 mm across.
Maybe the guy threw up the bullet in the air and shot it. Doubt it that would have to be a terrific shot. More likely put the penny on the ground an shot it. Or in a tree on the balanced on a piece of bark and shot it.
Oh, now I get it. It was a detectorists who had just dug his 24th Zincloln and finally had enough so he shot the next penny he dug which happened to be the 1968 Denver I found.
But all and all it was a neat find for me.
