Rev War Musket Ball ?

Yesterday while out testing a new program for my MK, I got a good hit. Seemed fairly deep so I thought it was a large object, after digging to about 12'' I reached the target. And thought to myself man that looks like a musket ball. Back story is, I was hunting within a quarter mile of a place were General Washington was holding up before the battle of Germantown. This place is very close to my house and has a lot of Rev war history. The ball measures anywhere from 0.586 to 0.625 and weighs 17.745 grams. I know some of the early muskets used a ball that was close to that, but that depended on the maker. Any thoughts would be great. Also I found an 18th century lockset on the same property about 5 years ago. Very cool if this is Rev War!!

Yup looks like a musket ball, those were out before the 3 ringers. I have found quite a few up this way too. Probably impossible to prove or determine if it was Washington related unless maybe it has some wooden teeth marks hehe.

Definitely a musket ball,  with it being so close to Washington and only a 1/4 mile from camp improves the odds it’s related. 
 

Terrific find,  Congratulations!

Congrats and like the display, down here some are cut into quarters also. Some have the 'sprue' on it. It's great isn't it!
