Musket Balls

Hi all from Australia,

I thought that I would show you 2x musket balls found with my Xterra 70 and 5x10" elliptical DDHF.
They were unearthed many miles apart in the Victorian goldfields from the gold rush era 1850-60's.
The coin in photo is for scale ad is an Aussie 5 cent piece...roughly the same size as a US dime.
Also is some other assorted bullet heads and a percussion cap.
I just love digging little bits of history like this.
Happy days to all
