is this lead shot?

thanks for looking
the larger pieces were from various places, including a buried trash area, but the small pieces (probably 5-7mm in diam) came out of one hole in my grandmother's backyard, 8-10 inches down, and the whole area was active during the Revolutionary War (about 7 miles outside of Boston). If not, what could it be?
TIA,
Lara

I found a bunch of that stuff to in a yard i am also curious of what it was/is

 

[arkhunter]

may just be melted metal from trash fires?

ark,
I think you're right about the larger pieces, like I said, they were in a semi-dump (where they apparently put the garbage cans in the far corner of the backyard). But the others were in the middle of the yard, and the house next door (probably 50 ft to its back door from where I found them) was the first house built in the vicinity, and there's no evidence of other trash in the immediate area, so I dunno...
thanks!
Lara

Most Definitely Melted Lead, Could Be From A Site Where Soldiers Were Moulding Musket Balls. See What Else You Can Find At This Site. Keep Us Posted. trk5capt...

Not sure, but the bottom right one looks like maybe it's been chewed.
