Lot of 1 small iron grapeshot and 1 lead musketball springshot (2 balls with coiled-wire connector). 178 grams; diameters of 1-1/4" and 5/8". Two different types of shot, one a simple sphere of rusted iron and the other a pair of small lead balls joined by a copper-wire spring for post-firing rotation that heightened damage but probably lessened accuracy. With certificate from the salvager. From: Reijgersdaal, sunk in 1747 off South Africa
