musket ball

Can anyone confirm or deny if this is a musket ball? It's definitely lead and was found in a place old enough to hold such things. Thanks!

Delayed start to the day as heavy rain in the morning, but never daunted we decided to drive over to the field of dreams and see how it went. Well, what can I say, this is the same field as last week, but we went up into a corner near the pond, that we hadn’t really done, the stubble is...

What a perfect day today was, last day of our holiday and it could not of been nicer. We went back to yesterday’s stubble field …. not sure what you will make of todays mixed bag, but I loved every second of it! beautiful crotal bell, complete, lovely button, including one with an anchor on...

At last the rain stopped and although cold and windy we headed out to some stubble fields… and are we glad we did! Lots of pottery across the field so hopes were high…. Yep 2 hammered for me… think one is a Charles 1 (1641 ) the other not sure… seems to have shields on both sides… nice lead...

Today was a cold wet day, but ever keen we decided to talk a walk round a grass field that has had cattle in with an electric fence, the cows have been moved, so no fence to hamper our efforts! Not very much to show, musket balls, 2 of the lead thingys, and 2 dumbell shot (?) a couple of...

Today dawned bright and sunny, so detecting was on! We went back to the same field as last time, as himself needed to take delivery of his new headphones (the previous ones didn’t fit 😂) and this field is about 5 mins from his house! A musket ball, lead weight, lots of buttons, a buckle, 2...

yesterday marked our 1 year of detecting anniversary.. so we felt the time had come to take David’s 2 daughters out with us… apart from the freezing cold, and aching arms they loved it… I think 😆…they only stayed a couple of hours, but i loved teaching them the dark art of detecting 😆 we went...

Our last Wednesday off before Christmas break… so off we went! Very frosty again, but no fog. Back in a different corner of the same field near the river. Well the beeps did not stop, lots of tiny lead had but in amongst an amazing assortment, I got a crusty coin and a gorgeous little hammered...

After a busy couple of days socialising we took a much needed waltz down to the river bank. The heavy fog didn’t lift all day, so we felt strangely cocooned from reality, with just the Rooks yelling in the trees and the beeps from the machines to accompany us! This is the same area we did last...

A day off work today, so despite the chilly temps and the frost on the ground, off we headed. Today we went to the fields near the river, just outside the village, the field still has the ridge and furrow lumps and bumps in it, got a nice mix of bits nd bobs, buttons, musket ball, lead, I found...

Today we popped back into the field of dreams (where I found the Philip & Mary coin 😆) bit of a slow start, but we stuck at it, despite the rain and freezing wind! All the usual big chunks of lead, musket balls, lead thingys, little bullets. A crusty button, other bits, some Roman Nails...

so today we headed to a new field, the view was pretty, but we got bored of digging shot gun cases… so after a couple hours wandering about, we called it quits and headed back to yesterdays super field. We did ok considering only a couple of hours and we had been over it yesterday! got some...

Back to the ridge and furrow field today! It was very damp, but the addiction is real so we persevered! So glad we did, we got musket balls, buttons, pot legs, spindle whorl, thimble, buckle, and patterned lead…! Plus the unidentified bits! 🤔 Oh yes and I got myself a lovely little hammered 😆...

Today we went back to the Ridge and furrow fields, just outside the village. Absolutely beautiful day spent digging the beeps😆.. Musket balls, buttons, a beautiful First World War badge, a 1848 four pence, with a hole thru, buckles, a gorgeous bridle boss (?), Roman nail (?) large piece of...

After yesterday’s sun, this morning we were back to a far more normal misty damp morning, so we headed back off to the Court House site. And boy did it keep us busy! We dug 37 scrappy bits of lead plus the usual musket balls, a gorgeous livery button, made by Armfield of Birmingham. 2 lead...

After the excitement of finding the Roman yesterday we headed back to the location and spent the day gridding around the area… Lead…. Big ugly lead… pic of the bits I found, himself had about the same which I let him keep 😆. Along the way musket balls, lead thingy’s couple of buttons, and a...

a wet start to the day did not deter us.. we set off across the old deer park… very slow start which always mean i dig the iron targets to see what they might be… really old horse shoe… and Roman nails… so we kept at it… sure enough the musket balls, our lead thingys started popping, along with...

With great excitement we set off bright nd early to at last go back to the field where I found my greatest treasure…… but the pheasant shooting season has started and the gates were locked 😕 so we scrambled for plan b, some stubble fields that are going to be contracted out, so our last chance...

Well this week I decided to do some LiDAR checking on some of the fields on our permission and found something possibly interesting… so off we headed! Loads of iron signals and lots of lead… the Deus loves those little tiny signals, we have had a lot of rain this week so the mud was very...

Back in the fields today… someone once said… you no ur doing it right when u find a quarter of a hammered… so quite proud to find half a tiny hammered 😍!! All the usual suspects up today buttons, Top of a thimble, musket ball, a spoon, a weight.. but also a lot more tiny targets!! Not...
