Cut Round Ball?

[Carolina Tom]

I found this piece of lead last weekend. I tried to not believe it was a cut round ball (maybe a game piece), however, the other boys encouraged me to believe it was a cut round ball.

Any input is appreciated. (PS: Not that kind of input weirdo!)

Hey Tom, we find lots of lead that has been whittled on. Like you suggest, it could have been a gaming piece or just someone playing around with a knife. Really no way to know. Cool find!

If you look closely with a loop you may be able to see knife marks. I can find them on most of my carved lead. If no marks, it's possible it may have melted to that shape
