Description: | 5 lead alloy musket balls. The balls are spherical and the diameter and weights are as follows: 1. 16.1mm, 18.69g; 2. 14.3mm, 13.8g; 3. 13.7mm, 13.37g; 4. 13.1mm, 12.06; 5. 12.8mm, 11.03g. There is no casting spur on any of the 5, but the two largest are slightly distorted. The musket was invented in the early sixteenth century, so musket balls are post-medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
