The King Billy is probably 1696 so they may fit in with this date but who knows As examples have turned up from he Iron Age to Georgian, although that said I have always presumed the pelleted ones like your one example are Medieval. Keep the finds coming Cheers Neil Title: Re: A change of luck Post by: wagis on September 27, 2016, 09:48:48 PM As already said incredibly hard to date, usually the whiter the older they are with lead. But nice finds anyway, good searching there.
