Grape Shot?

[large cent hunter]

I found this in an area that would have been pretty active during the French and Indian War. It is lead, and I put a nickle next to it for scale. I don't know what the coating is, it may be just the way the lead has weathered.
All I can think is that it's grape shot, but I don't know very much about these things. I'm hoping there's an "expert" out there.

Welcome To The Forum, Could Very Well Be Grape Shot, They Were Made From Both Lead And Iron. trk5capt...

Neat find. Trk5capt, I thought the small lead ones were "case shot" and the iron ones were grape. Am I wrong? You always have some great finds also...d2

it could just be a piece of lead that they used to make bullets
