	Napoleonic Battlefind Find « on: October 25, 2006, 08:49:26 am »

Below is another relic from a Napoleonic battlefield. It seems some soldier smashed a musket ball around a flint to hold it in place better. I guess the securing job didn't work very well because the flint got lost about 190 years ago awaiting the happy relic collector.
