Looking for info on this lead ball I found in the woods while searching for a mid/late 18th century site I know is in there ...somewhere ;D I have found about 30 shotgun and rifle shells so I know hunters have been all over - but only one of these balls. I also have found two early/mid 19th c gilt flat buttons so I know I am getting close :icon_thumleft:

weighs 9 g

Thanks!

Looks like your standard musketball. It fits the period of the site you are searching for.

Good! Thanks Kiros. I've found some other balls before on another site but I think they were more modern make. This one does have a different look to it compared to those.
