Hey I listed a big lead ball on amunition forum can you guys tell me what it is we found 3 of these in the camp.

 

[Busvette]

Yes, it's a sword war pommel. Is it rusted ? It should be Brass and a light to dark green color after years in the ground. Tone looks different.

 

[Duane Pringle]

No its brass none of the brass we dig out of this camp is green just the earth around it.
