I found this blob of lead in the confield. I ussaly always find musketballs in the field so I figured maybe it was a canonball? Never found one so I dont know. I figured it was made of the same stuff as the musketballs. Who knows. It is the size of a golfball.

could be a old morter round from the civil war...I think the smaller ones used lead or it could be a chunk soldiers carried to cast there own balls from. Very nice find... Cheesy

I also do often find lead in fields especially when there are musketballs, too. THis may have been a left over where they did actually produce some muskettballs right in the field.

I have also found musketballs in unfinished condition.
