I think I posted this in the wrong place, so I will repost here. I think this is a musket ball, I have never found one before, it's 10mm and very heavy. I also found about 20 feet away this ingot, that is also very heavy and small. I'm guessing used to make musket balls...it has writing on the back I can't make out. Found them in a cornfield. Any one know for sure if it's what they are? I am sooo excited to find out...this is coolest find ever! Mball2.jpg mball1.jpg Ingot2.jpg Ingot1.jpg

Not a musketball, too small. It is a muzzleloading round ball though, for a rifle or a pistol.

Cool, I found a similar ingot with a hole in it last year in a creek
