I found this in my parents front yard, and I have a hunch that it's lipstick, but I'm not quite sure. Can someone help with this? Thanks!

Stranger things have happened. Like Sam White getting killed by a 140 year old cannon ball.

The Cannonball was human error as was trying to disarm it and supposedly he had already removed the fuse. But this is the first I have heard of a shotgun shell or cartridge going off in someones hand, pocket or on the shelf. I keep shells in my pocket all the time and am not concerned and I also have old shells in a hot storage warehouse..

The old shotgun shells as well as cartridges were filled with black powder. I wonder if that was more unstable? Maybe someone can elaborate. Thanks for the story MoJoe.

Biemeck and Peter George, co-author of a book on Civil War ordnance, believe White was using either a drill or a grinder attached to a drill to remove grit from the cannonball, causing a shower of sparks.

he combination of sulfur, potassium nitrate and finely ground charcoal requires a high temperature — 572 degrees Fahrenheit — and friction to ignite.
