Along with several coins, 2 tootsie toy cars and a railroad spike I found this metal ball. I think it might be a musket ball but I'm not sure and I don't have the tool needed to measure the caliber. Any ideas???? ???

Looks more like steel, does a magnet stick to it? If the magnet sticks, could be out of a ball bearing.

Welcome to Treasurenet and I agree with mick56, looks more like Iron than Lead.

not a musket ball

Should he not consider the possibility of it being an iron case-shot round?

Could be either a military case shot or an old bearing. Context is important. Any military action around there?
