Musket ball cut into a gaming die!

[Rubka888]

I think this is so cool. It looks like a musket ball was cut square and then someone used a square nail to make the markings in it. One of my favorite pieces. Thinking it is 1700's. Found in a field with colonial period relics. Also dug a mass militia button! And a heart rosette from the Civil War. Fun day out digging

....and what's with the ball that
looks like orange slices? That's neat too.

Thanks, That is a Victorian era money clip. Lots of detail that I hope will clean up nice.

Wow, that will be hard to beat, what a find!!! Never saw one but heard about carved bullets into chess pieces or dices. Congrats on this one of a kind!

That die is really cool! I've never seen one before, so my bucket list just got longer. Thanks for sharing!
