Can anyone help me identify ?

I found this in Plymouth, Massachusetts in Billington Sea Pond. It was in about 2 feet of water on the sand. It was very off the beaten path. I know many Native American points have been found in this area. It’s definitely man made. It’s a beautiful perfect stone. Any ideas?? I think it’s too big to be a musketball..

It looks like a Native American "Game Ball" and a nice one at that. Congrats on your rescue!

EDIT: Looks like its made from Granite. Could also be Cannon GrapeShot from the Rev. War era...

Could be something worth keeping. I’ve only had one in hand before. One thing it’s not is a milling ball. It looks like a type of stone we have here made from a type of quartzite which they liked to use. I’d say hang onto it

Thank you so much for your reply! I was thinking the same thing about a game ball- the water threw me off I thought maybe it was used for hunting something instead? Wow grapeshot! I just googled your right could be either! It’s granite. I absolutely love it. I’m so excited as ridiculous as that sounds 🙄. My dad finds beautiful points on the beach’s here when he’s not even looking. I’ve looked for years & never found one. Then I’m hiking last week & waded out into the pond feeding the fish my sandwich & look down & it’s right there in the sand. I’m so happy. It’s a piece of someone’s history I love it❤️ Now I’m really going to start looking for little treasures!! A new hobby. Thank you again.

That is a very cool find! I'd say it's a Native American game ball, but whatever it is, thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you very much for assisting me with it ! I assumed it was an indigenous piece but so much history here I wasn’t sure if it was some primitive type of shot. I love it lol. I’ve found a new hobby. Thank you again

Thank you ❤️ I’m really so excited. All the encouragement from everyone is enlightening. It’s on my mantle after being in the water for probably a very long time. It’s loved & appreciated. And I know the fish………. too funny lol. Stay safe thank you again

Welcome to the forum.
I can see why you picked that one up. You're right about the prospects of finding artifacts in and around the Billington Sea area.
Congrats and good luck hunting!
