Well I have to say I was VERY excited to pull this out of the ground today! Its a Civil War cannon ball. Looks to be a 5 pounder. Trying to find more info on it as we speak. Anyone with ideas or info please speak up! Steve accused me of it being a softball but I can assure you its a very HEAVY softball! lol We found tons of musket balls and buttons today as well. Will post those later. We got it all on video so stay tuned for a video!

I want to thank GoneHunting, Steve Moore and Brian from Garrett for inviting me down. We all had a blast and enjoyed a day in the dirt! The AT Pro and AT Gold's were SMOKING hot on relics today!
