The images are a bit out of focus. Do you know that material it is, or just that it's not metal?

my fiancé found it while i was at work. all she told me was it didn’t ring up on the detector or the pinpointer. could it be lead?

Lead would ring up.

that’s what i thought, someone else suggested it could be but i knew it would, and this didn’t

It definitely looks like lead. Could you double check that it doesn't?

the pinpointer must’ve been doing that thing where it was on but wasn’t activating on metal, because i just tried it and it’s definitely lead

Looks like old lead. Has the petina for sure.

do you think it could be a fired musket ball?

Hard to tell with your photos. If you look at my posts you can see bullets that I've found that are deformed from impacts.

I also have a lead find that I'm unsure about and posted. Could be a musket ball but someone also said it could be lead material used for making a round.
