Reviving this thread with this 7cm piece of clodshot. Lead with a stone cast together.
Found at the North sea near Northumberland.

And even more now :)
Bought these recently and they are the rare clodshot Michael spoke about. Also a iron core like the one Michael showed us before.

The lead seems to be wrapped around at least one of the balls, but these might just be "scars" in the lead.
The iron cores have been hammered, i think the edges where not broken of but completly hammered this way.
