Description: | Lead shot. Fourteen cast balls, probably for use with light pistols or light fowling pieces or 'rook and rabbit' guns. Some are patinated, which might suggest they come from a different context to that reported, though the finder considers all to be foreshore finds. They probably represent recreational shooting from the beach.
