Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of Post Medieval date, about 1600 - 1800. It is spherical and has has the sprue removed with nippers leaving a double facet. There is no evidence of impact and it has a well developed yellow cream patina. Some patinated scratches are probably damage from agricultural implements. The weight suggests it was for use in a musket (Harding 2012, Lead Shot of the English Civil War, page 31).
