Ramon,
I have some. You can get them at almost any antique shop in the south.
They are easily recovered at any one of the hundreds of civil war
battlegrounds in the south. My musket balls supposedly came from the
battle of Bull Run in Virginia. However, I have no way of proving
that...

For what is worth, I have read in a report that the lead bullets
from The Civil War are still intact, as far as weight is concern,
encased in an oxide layer of lead.

"In what way and in what form does lead react with water?
Under normal conditions lead does not react with water. However, when
lead comes in contact with moist air reactivity with water increases. A
small lead oxide (PbO) layer forms at the surface of the metal. When
both oxygen and water are present, metallic lead is converted to lead
hydroxide
(Pb(OH)2):
2Pb(s)+ O2(g) + 2H2O(l) -> 2 Pb(OH)2(s)
Solubility of lead and lead compounds
Elementary lead does not dissolve in water under normal conditions
(20oC, and pressure = 1 bar). It may however occur dissolved in water as
PbCO3 or Pb(CO3)22-. A well-known example of a water soluble lead
compound is lead sugar (lead(II)acetate), which derived its name from
its sweet nature.
Lead frequently binds to sulphur in sulphide form (S2-), or to phosphor
in phosphate form (PO43-). In these forms lead is extremely insoluble,
and is present as immobile compounds in the environment. Lead compounds
are generally soluble in soft, slightly acidic water."
hopefully it helps...jk

Hello Joyce,
Thanks for the link.
I could not find any statements about phosphor toxicity in the
reference.
That aside, this might be the was the piece of work that caused many to
believe that lead was a leaching problem.
As I understand it, the measurements were significantly off due to an
unspecified experimental or arithmetic error which has since been
admitted by the researchers.
Someone else may have better insight.
Very best,
Joe
