Default Interesting finds today

Today before work I had to walk over to the woods across the road at my home, I found a mercury dime, some sort of token that reads, "play dough",LOL and what looks like a musket ball. I have also found a ton of melted lead. Does this look like a musket ball to you? Thanks and Godbless,Charlie

Nice Merc Slim. If the detector picked up the ball, it very well could be a musket ball. If not, it could be a clay marble.
Nice finds any way you look at it.

Yea the detector picked up the ball, I dug it like 4 or 5 inches in the ground. Its really amazing how things end up where they are.
