Took about an hour to get all of these holed musket balls out of one hole. The first one found was about 6” deep. The last one found ended up being about 24” deep. There was nothing else in the hole. Maybe someone dropped a fishing net?

I agree. Fishing net weights. Dug a bunch of them in the Caribbean.

Good catch, but some what a sinker to the musket ball theory.

Yeah. I think someone dropped a large fishing net with all of these weights on it.

still a good find, especially with the cost of lead nowadays...take up fishing! (err, after you have finished metal detecting for the day...)
