3 hour hunt and only 1 cent , buttons bullets and cannon ball ? Maybe

[Oldrvrrat57]

Hunted today for about 3 hours on a farm that I've found alot of largies and some seated silvers in the past, got 2 civil war period buttons and what I'm hoping to be a small cannon ball, plus 1 large cent to corroded to get a date!

Nice haul !
Any Large Cent - with a readable date or not is still a great find.

I’m not the one to answer whether it is/isn’t a cannonball, but there are several on here that can. Do you have diameter of the ball and weight? Best of luck

It measures approximately 2" wide , I have no way of weighing it right now.

Good day of digging.
Here is a chart on sizes of shot and cannon balls.
