Musket Ball?
Found this today on Clark Island at Pymatuning Lake in NW Pennsylvania.
I assume its a musket ball? Its heavy lead, somewhat flattened on one side. Any way of dating these things? I guess muzzle loader hunting still happens here in PA so maybe its not too old?

Too small for a musket but a muzzleloader of some type or a percussion revolver is likely.
America was founded by tough hell-raisers. Rugged citizens who evaded taxes, spoke strongly against tyranny, grew tobacco, brewed beer, distilled spirits, and smuggled weapons. And it will be saved by those same types of citizens.

Yes, hard to tell how old, but it does seem to have some patina. As stated, too small to be a musketball. No way to tell if it is rifle or pistol, both could be in the same calibers.
