Could Colonial Musket Balls Hurt Even More?
Recently, The Curse of Oak Island found what they referred to as an unknown pitted musket ball.
Research shows in Colonial Times as per 1750's, soft leaded musket balls were either chewed or pits engraved into them.
This was used to hold poison or even feces matter, to enable infecting the wounds of shot victims.
Rule 1...Do not mix up your musket balls in your pouch before chewing.

One of the Treasures has been found!
Sotheby’s has presented for sale some of the earliest views of Havana, Cuba. Painted by Dominic Serres between 1770 and 1775, the four spectacular pictures depict specific stages of the British siege and capture of Havana in 1762.
These 4 paintings were 4 of 14 commissioned for General George Keppel, 3rd Earl of Albemarle...Freemason, Navy Commander-In-Chief, who remained Governor on the island of Havana for one year.
The sale price obtained for just these 4 paintings was several millions of dollars.
His favorite painting which was claimed to be hung over his living room fireplace was: Dominic Serres, The Cathedral at Havana, August–September 1762: View of the Church of San Francisco de Asís, oil on canvas, 83.5 × 122.3 cm (estimate: £300,000–400,000)
During General Keppel's one year stay in Havana, with the help of 1500 Canadian Grenadiers and the Jesuits (who were soon to be expeled from the Catholic Church), Mr Keppel plundered the other 10 Cathedrals full of Spanish Gold and Silver...all 20 ships sailed enroute to the Oak Island Treasure Vault.
One can only imagine his joy viewing the beauty and warmth from it.

Robot is back with YET ANOTHER oak island treasure story.
When the bacon’s tomb, aztec gold, templar gold, shakespeare’s writings, and 100’s of other stories have been completely debunked, it’s time for a new one.
That’s exactly what the laginas do each week.
