Hi,

I think it's a bullet but I'm not sure. It did have a burn mark! Can any one enlightening me? Thank you.

Looks like a musket ball. Could be older for sure

Haha ancient! Looks like a round ball, generally used at or before the civil war. Looks fired and not dropped.

Looks like a Whopper that I found that was laying on the floor under the truck seat about five years ago. DON'T EAT IT!! Trust me. It tasted terrible.

I remember dropping that whopper! I was saving it for emergency rations.

Round ball, I agree. The old ones around here come out of the ground with a powdery white patina. Good find. Keep Swinging!!
