My first Musketball

[Eagle101]

I went out detecting a corn field where the battle of Rhode Island took place on Aquidnick island. I believe it's a British brown Bess musketball. The British controlled the island from 1776-1781 so I'm assuming it's from that time period. Also my md'ing buddy found his 10th musketball today. I couldn't be happier!! What a day!!
