cannonball

So, Ive hunted alot now that I am in Va, as well as while fixing a door to the dirt basement came across a circle dent in my outer wall- there was a battle nearby within a few miles of my home. The age of my home I am unsure as its got many add ons to it, but it does look like it got hit by a...

Hello, I’m a newbie from Pennsylvania. I live on an farm that was settled in late 1700’s to early 1800’s in Northumberland county. For the past (almost) 50 years I’ve found old metal objects, glass bottles, and numerous other things on the property which I now reside at and I’m curious as to...

Hi everyone. We found this perfectly round ball, like a cannon ball. It is 2 1/2" diameter and 12.2 ounce. Curious if anyone would know what is, when it may have been used and any value? We were digging on a family members land near central Cambodia, north of Phnom Penh. Thank you! :)

So I have this Cannonball in my possession. It’s 48.8 lbs and 8-10 inches in diameter. It has a hole on one side where somebody shoved a marble in it. Not sure if it has black powder in it or not. Anybody have any guesses at it’s worth or potential origins? I live in North Texas but it was not...

I have no idea on this one. I have heard both. I am running in a electrolysis tank right now. It was found at a site with items from the mid 1700s up to 1950s until they let the woods grow where a home site existed. It is within view of water but no military action from what I understand. I have...

Recent floods on Grand Lake have washed away the leaves and other detritus from the floor of the forest around the lake. I was out hunting for wild mushrooms, when I found this bad boy peeking out at me. It was about 85% buried. I would say that it is 10 inches in diameter and weighs about...

Hello all. First off, I am in La Mesa CA, about 20 miles from the Mexican border. A woman who lives on Mount Helix, had some work done in her yard. The landscapers found this gem. Solid, heavy, rusty and 11 inches round, 5.5 diameter what may be a cannon ball. I suspect Mexican American war...

Gentlemen, I have recently found a cannonball near the citywalls of Maastricht (the Netherlands). It weighs approx. 4.9 kg. (small bits missing), and its diameter varies between 10.2 and 10.8 cm (not sure whether this variation is due to manufacturing, or impact). The city was laid siege to by...

I found this "Two-Pounder" or so I think, around 1980 at the ruins of an old stone farmhouse at the location of the Revolutionary War skirmish "Battle of Signal Hill". This was based on my pre-Internet library research and talking to locals back then. As I got back into the hobby recently I...

I just joined Treasurenet.com so please excuse any mistakes. Here are some items that I recently found. I am planning to take them to a public identification forum but let me know if you have any thoughts: Moving from right to left. At the right are stone balls that were dug up at a...

I know what your thinking: Another cannonball? I sure hope so! I was just out detecting with a friend of mine on an exposed river bed in an old New England town. My buddy was detecting and got a huge signal and called me over. I figured it was junk, but he had to dig. What emerged I could...

So, here's one for the Cannonballguy, I was out detecting in my hometown in NH and I dug this large ball of iron from the town park(town was settled in 1760). I thought it was curious, but didn't think much of it until I read a thread about a possible canister shot find here on T-Net. Needless...

My 8 year old son found this round iron ball peaking out of the ground in an adjacent field by our home yesterday... near Tulsa, OK. I had the police come out and make sure it wasn't a bomb or something... they said it's not dangerous, and probably a replica of civil war cannonball (replica >>...

I found this guy the other day. Its extremely magnetic, I believe its pretty obviously cast iron. Diameter measures approximately 4.01 to 4.02 inches (my calipers have short noses). Weighs 8lbs 11.6oz. Found at goodwill and I'm a sucker for cast iron. It is quite well rounded and appears to have...

Hi, I'm new here and at this whole treasure hunting thing. I found this today... Weighs 3.6 lbs any ideas? We're in the Caribbean, found on a reef. Made of steel not lead.

hi! thought you guys here might know more about this than me! I have a small cannon ball with a ring that pops out around it... and two circles on each end. it weighs 147 grams and is 1.25 inches across... my thoughts are the ring is meant to be tighter in the cannon to shoot further or...
