[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 591180, member: 4485"] The weight of an old minie ball projectile could be up to ~32 grams I've found several of them around old diggings mostly intact or slightly flattened but I've found a few that were flattened right out. Maybe hit large rocks etc.? At first look I thought of them due to the rounded centre (where the hole is) & how it's split/flattened out. On second look I'd probably more agree with MBR as molten lead. [/QUOTE]
