Lot of 2 lead-wrapped (rare thus) iron small cannonballs. 628 grams total, each 1-1/2" in diameter. Fully intact, fascinating pieces of ammunition, the first we have seen like this, presumably wrapped in lead to keep the iron from rusting. From a Spanish colonial site in the southern Caribbean, 1500s-1600s.
