๐Ÿ”ด ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Musket balls from first major battle of revolutionary war found near Boston

The latest evidence of that firefight is five musket balls dug up last year near the North Bridge site in the Minute Man national historical park in Concord. Early analysis of the balls โ€“ gray with sizes ranging from a pea to a marble โ€“ indicates colonial militia members fired them at British forces on 19 April 1775.
