.625 CW 3 Ring Slug

[steelheadwill]

I find a lot of balls & slugs in the sand & mud where I hunt.
The lead items have no patina from the salt environment.
This is the largest caliber found yet, anyone have a clue on possible age?
the area shown borders a dump used from 1780-1850, now a park.
interesting items scattered on surface & buried.
thanks for looking! HH

Nice looking area to hunt. I agree looks like a 3 ringer. Is the base hollow? Nice find
