Is this a fired musket ball? If so, is there any way to tell the age? I weighed it and it was 0.04 lbs or about 18.14 grams

That's a lot of oxidization.
Lead can oxidize quite fast in the right environment, so telling a accurate age is very hard to do.
Most times age is estimated by the other relics and area where found.
With all that said....
It looks it could have been a fired round ball, but then again it could be an old sinker.
Hard telling with other context.
Keep looking there could be great find there...
