✅ SOLVED Musket Ball Perhaps?

I found these at one of my sites that rarely produces anything other than an occasional shotgun shell.

And feedback on what they are, greatly appreciated.

Or buckshot??

Looks like a musket or rifle ball, but you really need to give us a measurement in thousands of an inch for an accurate ID.

I took them to a friend who is familar with Power Guns. His comment was, "they are consistent with what I put in my Powder handgun and rifle. The larger being 50 Cal., the smaller being 44 Cal.

I am satisfied with that answer, just wish I knew how old they were. LOL.

Well, looking at the patina, seems to me they could date to the gold rush.

Wouldn't that be nice. Now if I could find the Gold in that general area, since that is what I was looking for at the time. I think I'll keep working that area now and then, just in case some Gold shows up. After all, it is Gold Country.
