🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Musket Ball ?

Found about 6" down in woods
I know the area was part of a land grant given in 1788 to a revolutionary war veteran ( Wake County NC )

Looks like one. Im not in the US but musket balls are common here from the goldrush days. Is that a flat area I see where I hit something maybe when fired!?

It looks like it's been in the ground a while. Could it be early 1800s?

The whiter the lead becomes the longer its been in the ground.
I use this 12 lb quart for a bookend.
A few regular leads fell in, stayed in.
