Very nice!!! Now that is one on my bucket list still... And pretty darn close to the top..
 

Very nice recovery, restoration and preservation! :occasion14:
 

where in the panhandle of FL did you find it, if you don't mind me asking
 

Would be a great bowling ball Nice find
 

8-) a 29 pounder ! You scored a biggin' .
forged cannon balls are found in SJ , 4 pound balls are not unusual in Jersey..... 29 lb is serious artillery :icon_scratch:
 

That is a hog,Probably filled with case shot looking at lead side plug.I imagine it was used for coastal battery or defense?congratulations
