My first Musket ball!

[Mineo26]

Been wanting to find one for the longest time and my research and locations paid off! Everything was found in a revolutionary war location and have no idea what the rest of the stuff is. The bar is pretty heavy and im thinking it was used to make musket balls? The other piece looks like its from a light fixture or maybe a weapon?

Let me be the first to Congratulate you on your first musketball bud! Did you wire brush it? It looks kinda shiny

Congrats on your first musketball! I still ogle my first and only Battle of the Sinkhole pistol ball.

Now put that Dremel away! We don't ever want to see that word here again when referencing your found relics!

I found many musketballs in NJ and you want to leave the patina on them. One of the ways you can tell how old it is...lots of reenactments going on in NJ so there are quite a few modern day reproductions that turn up on hunts. Especially in parks that have had History Fairs or the such.

Congrats
