Beginner's luck! and then some!
These are a few of the items we (my husband and I) dug over the past couple of days at a local park that is rich in history! Today, we brought along our 16 year son, and the lucky joker dug a musketball first target! Beginner's Luck!! The other items are an old square head cut nail, that from my understanding would have been used in the 1800's. We are not sure about the bullet casing yet, and the large ring, but these items were dug in the same general area. Having been found in a site with so much history, it's hard to place a date on the musket ball, and we are wondering if there are some things we could look for in order to better date it....I am thinking between 1700-1800's-PLEASE correct me if I am wrong. The bullet has a F and an A on it's headstamp, and the number 3 then a space, and the numbers 05 in a fancy number style. I have been digging old bullet casings from this same park, so we are hoping it's old as well. Any feedback for these newbies is greatly appreciated. I am still learning how to research eras for items such as these....
