Musket ball cut into a gaming die!

[Rubka888]

I think this is so cool. It looks like a musket ball was cut square and then someone used a square nail to make the markings in it. One of my favorite pieces. Thinking it is 1700's. Found in a field with colonial period relics. Also dug a mass militia button! And a heart rosette from the Civil War. Fun day out digging

Love the feel of real history in a find like that -- it pulls you right back to when some guy crafted it and it's tremendously interesting. Congrats!
