I found this in a creek in Northern Utah. I believe it to be a lead musketball. Am I correct about that? I am a newbie to metal detecting.
What I would like to know is when this might have been made and used? Any idea of how old it could be? It has a noticeable seam that wasn't cleaned up too well. It also has a small, flat surface on it. It has a tan patina in many places that won't clean off with just water. It is quite heavy even though I would estimate it to be about 10mm.
Let me know what you think! Thanks!
