Very cool find. I wonder if it was a dig, or the park service was just using metal detectors. |

Dn Jackson, I know they have used metal detectors on CW parks when I've been doing Living History on them. That would be my bet too. |

It's no wonder they found something, it's a beautifully preserved site. |

The Patriots may have dropped them when they ran away…! |

Or Maybe Herky, they're not musket balls at all. Maybe just the petrified gonads of a British soldier who lost his there. 😉 |

just the petrified gonads of a British soldier …unlikely, they would have got stuck in his gaiters! |
