Hey all,
This is my first musket ball I ever found. Probably not a big deal to most of you, but it’s huge to me lol. I’ve always wanted to find one. It was located on the beach of a river in Maryland. It was laying on top.
I do not have a caliper measurer at the moment, but I did weigh it. Please see pic below.
Do you know if it’s an actual musket ball? If so, do you know if it’s possibly from the revolutionary war? It wasn’t found on a battlefield.
Lastly, I do not want to clean the patina off of it, so I can’t check for the casting sprue.
Thanks all.
