🥇 BANNER I completed my colonial musketball mold!

Found the other half to the 1750s musketball mold. Also a silver shield. And some flat Buttons

More information leads me to believe this was revolutionary war. Look up josiah miller

Very nice recovery. What do you think the calibers are? Maybe 36 cal up to 58? I have no idea but a really great find. I bet Cannonballguy might know the calibers.

I’ve seen a few if these through the years, Miller also made button molds. The attachment shows one sold by the Horse Soldier shop in Gettysburg Pa.

Look up john, josiah miller bullet molds. The im or jm, is his makers mark. He made them in the mid to late 1700s

I think you are pretty close. Although the biggest one is bigger then 58, i believe

outstanding find! It would be interesting to know how many people cast their own vs bought them back in those times. The fact that your mold has a makers mark is really telling and significant! Congrats!

Considering all the lead ingots and such i find at sites. I would say most made there own lead items like bullets
