Greetings, I have been lurking and reading and searching posts from this group for a while now, but I finally registered today. I do not own a muzzleloader, but I am an archaeologist who is studying the 18th century flintlock artifacts in the southeastern US. I am presently wrapping up a report on the Yuchi Indian village, later Fort Mount Pleasant in Effingham County, Georgia. The site was active from about 1720-1747. There we recovered numerous gun parts including many gun barrels (smoothbore), lead balls, and gunflints. I am trying to sort out the weapon classes represented from these various data. I will pose a few questions in my next posts.
