    Lead grape shot?

    Hey guys found this in the woods today and did some research thinking maybe a grape shot. Around 2.125 ish in dia. and weighs 1.8 lbs. give or take. The inter web says they sometimes made them from lead as well as iron. With the side mold seams it looks like some grape shot pics on the web.Name:  20180228_120825.jpg
