Guys, I have to admit, this month has been slow. Between school and baseball, I haven't gotten out digging a lot. I've found like 5 pennies and a LOT of pull tabs.

Bu then I came across a weird find. I think that it's either a musket ball, or just a really dense and heavy ball of lead.

I'm no expert on fire-arms but I thought traditional 150-200+ year old musket balls are about half an inch in diameter.

I'd have to wonder if that was buck shot, Bird shot has a few dozen tiny BB's, but buck shot has like 10-20 round shot pieces about that size.

Still an interesting find and I might be way off.

I wouldn't doubt that, probably the most believeable claim.

But if it's not a musket ball, it wouldn't really hurt my feelings
