Description: | Unusual lead musket ball, of aproximately 3/4 inch calibre (maximum diameter 18.16mm), cast with a ridge around its middle, and a small flattened lobe on each of the 'poles'. This is likely to be one of the range of experimental musket balls cast on the nearby Firle estate. The ball is corroded with a rough pale yellow patina, and has been chipped in several places by plough action- most of the chips and dents have the same patina as the surface, and so must have happened in previous centuries. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
