know you guys are hungry for photos of something found.
These were from my hunt last W/E. Slim pickings - Lotta lead
including one musket ball slightly smaller than others I have
found. Maybe french?

It was very cold and temps went below freezing before
sundown. Now we're buried in snow.
No hunts this W/E!? ?>:( HH!

Second pic is Close up of musket ball.

Ah, nice finds, i like the musket ball, oh and again thanks for the tips O7 i used em and found my first "V" (1906) nickel first Buffalo nickel (1935) thanks HH CS
 

That big piece of lead up at the top looks like a part of lead that they would use to cast musket balls. Well I think that is what it might be it looks like it was marked on were to cut it up.
 

Great finds!
the disk shaped object second row far right, the one that looks like a washer with a line through center, appears to be a drapery weight that was sewn into the corners of drapes. as a kid used to steal them from moms drapes to use as fishing weights!
