Spent the better part of the day swinging an old field from the 1800s here in NH today. Scored my first musket ball there. 20170702_182937.webp

Congratulations on a first. Hope you find many more.

Congrats on the round ball, always fun to find
 

Worth looking for a full ID.
Looks halfway between a pistol shot & a musket ball.
 

very cool find
 

Those are always great to find. ESPECIALLY the first! Congratulations

Thanks. Gonna weigh it up and put my dial calipers on it and see if I can get an ID.

I love old lead. It has the kind of significance a man can appreciate. I wish you more recoveries in that field.
 

More likely a rifle ball than a musketball, if less than 5/8 of an inch it is too small for a musket. An accurate measurement will tell the caliber.
