Description: | A post-medieval (probably 1600-1800) lead alloy musket ball, measuring 11.3mm in diameter and weighing 7.77g. The ball has a smooth, grey patina with a worn casting seam and sprue scar (probably removed by a knife). The weight suggests it would have been used in a pistol or as buckshot (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study).
