Meteorite in tree?

I have found lots of musket balls, many different sizes, but only one that had any iron in it, and it was much larger so maybe canister shot.
A perhaps more likely possibility - someone hunting for birds with a catapult and steel ball bearings.
With reference to the photo, it's a damn funny ball bearing...A perhaps more likely possibility - someone hunting for birds with a catapult and steel ball bearings.

Awesome! Certainly has the right characteristics to be a meteorite from those pics and description. Will ask my wife later as this is her area of expertise
Thanks, I'd be interested to hear her opinionHer view is it certainly could be a meteorite from the pic but could also be a random something else….def metal content tho! If you like I can PM you the details of her expert….but he will def need to actually see it in person apparently.

...and while I can't remember the details it was decided it was likely iron age slag.
I've been on a night out in Hull as well.Size isn't given but it looks far too small to be a cannonball. I thought possibly a musket ball but they were lead so not magnetic. It also looks wrong for that.
I'll go for meteorite.
Well it is but there’s always Bradford on levels of awful.
