10 gauge Beautiful brass shotgun shell 1849-1879

I’ve been hunting the beach flats with the super low tides and it’s been pretty good with some old silver and this beauty yesterday
I was using my Equinox 800 beach 1 5 tones sensitivity 18-20 and I had a screaming 39 which was as deep as the depth gauge would go!
It was between 16”-18” down these date from 1849-1879 amazing condition for being buried in saltwater for those amount of years one 192’s merc yesterday and a bucket load of clad.

Thanks guys never thought this shell was that old.
I really like this machine I’m hunting all over beaches parks hammered areas I always seem to find something good hopefully grounds soft enough to dig
I found a new “old baseball field”
