Garrett AT Pro W Stock coil, Fisher F2 W 8" Concentric and 9.5" NEL DD, XPointer pin pointer
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
I found what appears to be a .69 Cal musket ball, (possibly fired) A fired .58 cal (possibly a Williams Or Minnie), and a bridal rosette.
All found metal detecting within a 20 ft radius of each other.
Any thoughts?
Civil War era?

Looks like a rosette to me, and possibly a bullet, but the ball isn't a roundball.

Thanks Creskol, I figured the sprue mark was the giveaway for this being a roundball. What do you suppose this is? It is a .69 cal sized something.
 

Can you post a photo looking at it head on? Thanks

Thank you
Here is a shot of the Sprue.
 

I agree with the opinions of all who posted , & that Round Ball & it's 'Spur' are really strange , maybe it's a modern cast ball ?
