Did I just find a musket ball in my front yard?!?

I found this ball about 8" deep--TID on ATP is 66-67. The other thingy was found at the same depth about 2 feet away--TID jumps from 47 to 63, mostly in the 60's. I sure hope at least one of these is a bucket list relic!

Either musketball or marble... beautiful patina on it, so I am leaning towards musket ball, but I am no bullet expert...

Great find either way!
 
Thanks guys! I've wanted to find a relic since I got my first detector a couple years ago. I just couldn't believe I found one (now two) in my own yard.
