Description: | Musket ball made from a small round pebble with a covering of lead around it. This type of musket ball was created when lead was in short supply during the civil war. The pebble had to be wrapped in lead to prevent it creating sparks when shot when shot from the musket. The ball measures 13.02mm in diameter and weighs 9.37g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
