MUSKET BALL
I would like to know if anyone can identify this as a musket ball. It was found next to an old stone cellar hole. In a place where I have found many old coins 1800s etc.
the dimensions of this led ball is 14.30 mm or 0.56 inches according to my research it would be within the range of a 58 caliber.
There is a big dent on one side of the ball, the only thing that is puzzling me is that the ball is not perfectly round I don't mean the dented part of the ball where it may have had something But it has a almost cylindrical aspect to it.
This would be the first musket ball I have found if it is truly a musket ball or rifle ball. Any help would be appreciated
