I did a short hunt today at a colonial era cabin site on Lake Champlain with Revolutionary War history.

Great hunt Vermonter! Digging musket balls never gets old... and that looks like a cartridge box sling buckle too. Really great find.

It looks like he has his calipers in mm. I put it into a converter and 18mm = .70" So it looks like they're .69 caliber.
