Description:This is a very nice 6 pounder solid shot and the last one of the group I got from the Vicksburg digger. He dug a few at Port Gibson and Vicksburg but didn't track individually where each came from which is why the vague provenance. Iron is pretty good on it and you can see a faint mold seam around most of the shell. A cool thing is a very clear mold sprue mark along the seam where it should be. I tried to show it the best I could in the 1st image.

Shot is cleaned and coated though a little electrolysis would clean it up better.
