Great find! Looks old, and very coo!
Ya know, I thought I found a cannon yesterday...early in am, I was at the beach, and in the distance, was what I thought was a big, Spanish Galleon cannon.... It was the stump of a palm tree.

Very cool find!! Looks home or machinist made since it lacks trunions. Let's see a pic of the business end (front). Looks like brass so it would likely be safe to shoot with a little 3F black powder and a firecracker fuse. NEVER use modern smokeless powder, and you would have to find a way to clamp it down. No projectile, just a paper wad. I have a large collection of antique small cannons and they are a blast to shoot off.

It was only about 2 inches down rang up at 83 on my AAT pro. It is brass and i showed to a guy who believes its from the late 1800. I also found a 1907 ihp abouts 10 feet from it.

Hi; That is COOL.!!!! I think that because of the fact that a Cannon has never been Posted here on TNet that fact makes it a Rare find. As a result of these facts I hereby Vote BANNER. I think it is deserving of such a Vote. What say ye Folks ?? I await. PEACE:RONB
