Description
i FOUND 2 BOXES OF SHIPWRECK ARTIFACTS IN A STORAGE AUCTION i WON, INCLUDING AN OLD SEXTANT, 2 1800 'MALLET' WINE OR BRANDY BOTTLES, MUSKET TRIGGER GUARDS & A JAR FULL OF MUSKET BALLS & FLINTS FOR THE RIFLES)
I ALSO FOUND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A COMPLETE GRAPE SHOT FOR A CANNON - I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANOTHER THAT IS ORIGINAL, ONLY ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECREATED FROM AMMO FOUND.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS? IS IT RARE? WHAT IS IT WORTH?
ONE UNUSUAL THING IS ONE OF THE BALLS IN IT IS BROKEN & APPEARS TO BE MADE OF CLAY OR WOOD. I HEARD AT THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR THEY WERE MAKING CLAY AMMO SHOT & COATING IT WITH ZINC OR SUCH; IS THAT WHAT THIS IS?
THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP.
