curious and unusual objects

[Grelinette]

Another curious object, moreover found not far from the old well: a rather rustic lead ball about 2,5 cm in diameter.
(The musketeer D'Artagnan could probably tell us more about this curious object ...)

Perhaps a fishing sinker whose holes have become clogged with corrosion.
Otherwise a Biscaians for a 12 pound barrel ...

Or a musket "ball" ...

I also think it's a musket or arquebus ball.
This is why I wrote that D'Artagnan could have told us more about this lead ball because he died of a musket ball received in the back!
(D'Artagnan).

We know that there were many religious wars in the area, especially against the Vaudois, the Protestants in Provence in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries who were massacred in conditions of inhuman cruelty. Ha ... religious disagreements !!! ...

Besides the well of which I published photos undoubtedly dates back to this time and could have been made by the Vaudois to hide when they were persecuted.

Hi everybody,

Here is a balloon that I had when I was a kid

a fabric bag with a small opening to insert a balloon and inflate it inside
