My best hunting buddy who moved away came to visit and we hunted 12 hours strait yesterday. He found the 1837 no stars seated dime.and colonial silver cufflink. And buttons and other stuff. I got the musketball mold with 4 different calibers. How old is it? I also got the indian, silver ring Chinese coin. and 3 mercury dimes not pictured. And buttons and bunch of other stuff

Update: the mold is made by john miller 18th century. One of my best relics ever

Gang mold, could early 1800s-1870s is my guess

Excellent crabstang! Congrats!

I've seen a lot of bullet molds because my Grandfather collected them, but never like this one. It would be great to know the history of this. I'm waving the banner on this one!

Best wishes and continued good luck!

Kind of looks like a mold for buck and ball.

Kind of looks like a mold for buck and ball.

These are huge calibers like 69 and such

 

[Red James Cash]

That was the beauty of a smoothbore musket,you could fire anything out of it.

Great finds! The musket ball mold is spectacular. A nice way to display that could be to find the right caliber balls and put them in the mold!

Check this out from the National Park Service, could be Revolutionary War, Bullet Mold.
Looks like its a possible exact match even down to the guide pin location on the handle end.
