This is a large grapeshot round, Civil War era, that I bought recently. It is 2.87 inches in diameter, matching the criteria for a grapeshot from a 32 Lb. cannon. The weight is unknown, because none of my household scales are accurate. It was bought off of an antiques dealer who bought it from a now long dead relic hunter, back in the 1990s. Because I felt really good about it's authenticity, I bought it, though it was very rusted. I cleaned some of the rust off before I took the first picture, and the last picture is it cleaned up.
