Cast ball, flattened at one end, possibly by a compressing impact or the penetration of a soft surface, and with a smaller round flattened area on the opposite end, the latter possibly from use of a ramrod. Patinated overall. The mass, at just under an ounce, may suggest this would be used with a smoothbore muzzle loading firearm of military specification; either a light musket, carbine or pistol. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Diameter: 18.4mm, Length: 14.7mm, Weight: 27.01gms.
