Description: | Two lead, post medieval 'shot', found in the same hole and thus reported together. The larger shot is probably a musket ball and the smaller from a musket or perhaps a carbine. The larger shot has clearly been fired and looks to have impacted with someone's incisor teeth! The smaller has the remnants of the casting sprue. Both have circumferential casting lines. They were found in the area of the civil war battle/skirmishes to the north of Montgomery. Both have the typical pale grey lead oxidation to their surface. Diameter of larger ball (lower 2 images)= 17.8mm. Weight=23.7g. Diameter of smaller ball (upper 2 images)= 14.6mm. Weight=18.1g.
