Rare Relic Dug

I dug this a couple of weeks ago.

It is a fired mini ball with an Enfield rifle Tompion embedded into it!

The soldier forgot to remove the Tompion from the barrel when he fired his gun!

Soldiers commonly loaded 2,3,4,5 and up to 7 bullets in a battle and never actually shot the gun... Alo can happen when you are being shot at. Many, many muskets recoved from battlefields have been found that way...
