So while metal detecting a town that had gotten ransacked by the union army in Louisiana I came across this nice piece of lead and was wondering if it could have been a projectile, it's badly disfigured like it was round and made impact it also weighs 16.9 grams by my scale.. If you need any other info just ask and I'll get it
