Si, have you seen Clem’s last video!?? Please talk with him, make sure he’s alright. Maybe help with a few digs? Possibly bring Nicola along? Detecting isn’t really her genre but, it would be a fun video. Worried about Clem, have never seen him like this. Was in shock at the end, then tears. Sure that sounds crazy, the look in his eyes broke my heart for him in the end. Thank you Simon

I believe your "little bone horn" is a tusk shell. It's a mollusk that's closest related to cephalopods, but is its own separate group. It's probably not part of the shell you found next, which is just a snail shell.

@BallisticBBQ 2 года назад

My father-in-law worked in a lab and he gave me a small mortar and pestle made of that hard pink ceramic that had been used in his lab. I'm guessing that those pink cylinders you found were used as the abrasive media in a large tumbler to help clean up the cannonballs and shot that the foundry was manufacturing.

@20greeneyes20 2 года назад

I believe your right!!

@IratePuffin 2 года назад

Idk… you are probably right but that seems massive for a piece of tumbling media. I’d think it was more likely used in manufacturing to crush chemicals or something similar and that’s why it’s so big.

@robertajanik513 2 года назад

the pink shots are most likely grinding media for an industrial ball mill used in a mining/milling of industrial minerals. My husband has been in industrial mining for over 30 years and the ball mill media I have seen is the same shape as those pink ones, but white.

The .303 case was from a MKVII Z. It was filled with nitrocellulose instead of cordite. Any round with a Z after the MK was a nitrocellulose round. They had a slightly heavier bullet with a boat tail instead of a flat base. They were used in machine guns like the Vickers rather than rifles. The projectile was from a cordite filled MKVII as it is flat based and was used in the Lee Enfield rifles.

The pink objects look like they once were a part of an old roller system used in the production process of the old musket balls. The musket balls would be too hot to touch once they were made. In order to keep the assembly production moving once the molten metal was poured into cast/mold they would be cooled and then the musket balls would be freed from their molds and emptied onto a roller system. The rollers would need to be made of something that could withstand high heat such as ceramic which the pink objects look to be made from. The ceramic rollers would act like a conveyor system for mass production of the musket balls.

Out here in Arizona in the Southwest U.S., I found a streambed at an old mining town that was full of iron balls of different sizes much like you found everywhere; turned out that they were part of ore-crushing machinery from the 1800s-- you had the equivalent of a sort of washing machine that you dumped metal-bearing ore (probably copper) into along with the metal balls, and the whole thing tumbled and the balls broke up the ore. No idea if that's what you've got, but it did make me think of it.

there's a factory in my Arkansas town that makes wood handles for shovels and hammer and the like. They put the finished handles into a rolling drum with wood balls and add liquid wax to give the wood a smooth finish before shipping them out to sell. Some of the balls you see out there could serve such a purpose maybe.

@IratePuffin 2 года назад

It’s called tumbling media. They make it out of steel, hardwood, ceramic, glass, etc. Even corn cobs. Some are meant to cut, some to polish. I thought the ceramic ones might be that too until I saw someone else say they could have been used to make molds in sand to pour the molten metal to create the steel balls. That makes a bit more sense to me.

Wow what an epic location. Those ceramic balls could be used for making the negatives of the cannon shot in the molds. I'm curious if they are the same size as some of the shot you found around the beach. If the shot was made by sand casting they would have needed a ball to make a negative print in the sand that they could then fill with the molten metal. Just an idea, great finds!

Wow, what a find! Lucky that you have rescued the tin before it got damaged. You both need to go back to that area again. Each future visit remove one of the large heavy tools as they would be great to display in the garden if they can’t be used.

I used to work in a tile factory and we used ceramic balls, very similar to the ones you are finding, different sizes to grind up the clay from rough lumps to fine paste. The smaller the ball the finer the paste. These balls were perfectly smooth though.

It could very well be the simple fact that they are waste and thus already ground down or if you mean the one you used simply better manufacturing.

Ceramic balls like this are used in pottery firing to rest items on and to separate items. Lots of them.

What a brilliant find, the tin. I can't wait, till you find out, what it's history is, thanks for the video.

Imagine that chair base upturned, a glass cloche in it for a bowl, and then filled full of those little turned balls ...you could mix in a few holiday ornaments and top with a poinsettia for a Christmas porch display!

Or the wheel thingy with a glass top and glass bowl with the balls in!!

Marvelous lark and what a treasure the tin is. I hope you're able to find out more at the museums. Also, I think the pink things might be fossilized marshmallows 🙂
