Description: | Lead shot. Cast ball with a flattened circumferential band from swaging, or compression in the bore, and an indented ring from the mouth of the breech chamber of a turn-off breech loading pistol. The mass, at over half an ounce, may qualify this for use with a weapon of military specification. The proximity of a Civil War fort at Trent Falls may be relevant to this discovery. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Diameter: 14.6mm, Length: 13.9mm, Weight: 16.55gms.
