Are these musket balls?

Found these in the sand at a beach in Rock Hall MD.

Hard to tell from your pic, I can't tell how big they are, need something for size reference (ruler, tape measure). Kind of strange looking for musket balls, there are tiny holes around middle like a band. Looks like lead, are you sure they are lead? Did you find them somewhere that would be conducive to that kind of time frame?

Treblehunter,

I just started treasure hunting, so I'm not sure if it is lead or not. As far as size goes, they are 3/4 ".

Nope...shotgun slugs. Keep looking though!

Yep, shotgun slugs.

Shucks! I'll keep looking. Thanks for the input.
