Help Date Pipe Bowl with Cannon

[Lost Signal]

I dug this while metal detecting earlier this spring. The signal turned out to be junk, but this broken pipe bowl was in the hole. On this site we've found artifacts from the early 18th century to the late 19th century, so I'm not sure about this piece. Maybe the style of the cannon can help date it. Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

AARC is correct.

Sorry deleted post... I actually spun out on that one and had second thoughts as it may be an earlier version... the cannon itself is of an earlier design WHICH does not date this... as we all know items may reflect the past in artwork and design so this could be misleading.

Anyway... on first glance I presumed CW era... but then I was not solid on that.

The style of cannon looks to be of the type used in the Spanish American War.

"The Spanish–American War was an armed conflict between Spain and the United States in 1898. Hostilities began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of USS Maine in Havana harbor in Cuba, leading to U.S. intervention in the Cuban War of Independence."

PS. Cru will know.

nagant - My friends and I looked forever and never found another cannon. This one is very close. Thanks. The level of detail in mine is more like the first examples, that you linked to, but the cannon style seems right. I'm wondering if mine might also relate to Buchanan.

Thanks everyone, for looking into this.

Thanks! The search system is in Dutch. I didn't see an "English" option, but with some Google-Translate, I think I was able to search for a cannon theme. Couldn't find one, though.

I did see enough to figure out that they have an amazing collection of pipes!

I don't know who says the cannon pictured is a Spanish American war era cannon, it most certainly is NOT. By the time the Spanish American war came about we were no longer using muzzle loading cannons like the pictured one, pretty much all countries were using breech loading cannons by the end of the 19th century.

I was thinking French around 1812
what other coins and/or relics found near it?

Most cannon used through the Civil War were muzzle loading... breech load was new technology and was not used much until after that.

A RARE example of a breech loader which was "new" was the Whitworth.

This was from a different site than most of my posts. At this spot, finds are from a wide range of dates, but early 19th century is right in there, for sure. It could definitely be that.

Thanks!
