🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Cannonball turned into anchor?

[42 Scout car]

Hi all, So i found this on my property on the Hudson river, right across from a revolutionary fort, Fort Independence. It weighs slightly more than 42 pounds, bathroom scale, and the diameter is about 6.70 inches. I heard all different answers, not this site, from chain shot, schooner anchor, cow weight, counter weight, etc. What say you? thanks Rob.
