First V3 Relic Hunt

I took my new V3 out for its first relic hunt on Monday. The yard we covered has been hit hard in the past, but there is iron all over and is right next to a Civil War camp (northern Maryland). Hunting in relic mode, I got a good hit near some iron and dug about four inches to find a lead disk. I think it is a Civil War poker chip made from a bullet! I've included pictures with a quarter for size reference. So far the V3 is doing a great job and looks like it is a good upgrade from my 17+ year old Eagle Spectrum.

Is that soft like lead?
Put a magnet to it.
Looks like a knock out slug from an electric box

Good Luck

I should have explained that the readings were similar to a bullet and that it is non-magnetic. It also has the same patina as Civil War bullets found in this same yard. I would like to compare the weight to various caliber bullets, but I can tell by the density that it is lead (plus there was no rust). Several sites on the internet have shown similar items that are known to be poker chips.
