Musket ball????

[Skelly607]

Today went hunting in the woods near my house. Found a 1943 war nickle. two 1911 wheaties,1909 wheatie,1941 wheatie. Found bunch of modern day bullets but I also found a lead ball measuring .550 to .570. Weighs 230Grs. Could this be a musket ball? To big to be Buckshot.

yup, that would be a .58 cal round ball. Size is right.

Any way to date the time period?
