Nice musket ball and nice patina on it....that patina shows how old it is. I remember when i detected my first musket ball in Virginia back in 1972 with my old Whites BFO detector.

Really?Thats odd.I have been fortunate to have dug several and all of my buddies as well.Seems crazy to lose such an essential piece of equipment!
