carved minie ball? added pics of GA coat and SC cuff

looks like it was used to make a fishing weight. It and aluminum cans and modern bullets were all I found with my Impact.
My digging partner with his Equinox found a Georgia coat button, great shape with shank, and what we think will clean up to be a SC cuff, also very nice shape with shank.
Oh, he also found a piece of a confederate brass spur. He likely could have found them with any detector, but then again...

I figure you probably already knew and was just joking. But in case not, it is a 1 oz pyramid style fishing sinker. Those jokers sound good no matter what!

How do I cancel an auction on ebay? Or maybe I should just leave it there and see how much it brings?

I'd stomp it down in some gravel and relist it as a Civil War "pain" bullet that was found near Gettysburg.
