A drill bit of the type used to drill a wellbore in the earth can comprise a bore formed in the drill bit, and a plug sealingly and reciprocably disposed in the bore, whereby the plug prevents fluid communication between sections of the bore in the drill bit. The plug can comprise a spherically-shaped member. The plug can comprise a floating plug sealingly and reciprocably disposed in the bore, whereby pressure in the different sections of the bore on respective opposite sides of the plug is substantially equalized.
