More cannon stuff

[Joe hunter]

Getting close to the reassembly process.I’m guessing a swivel cannon the little gun is cool too.nothing is clean yet and I’m beat.Took some serious labor getting those beasts off the hill.
Thanks for looking.

Congrats on the latest pieces of the cannon, that sucker is in a lot of pieces.

What does the trunnion part weigh?

It's a cool find. You might want to consider putting a little more effort into your pics...I have little idea what I'm looking at

At least Joe posted up his latest finds-and stated that he beat after hauling the pieces up the hill.
But I guess a post up isn't worthy-if it not picture perfect.

Beats the hell out of the countless please click subscribers that post up nothing except a bloody look at me videos.

I’ll post more pics in awhile I had to bring it down cellar and shower.

No ****! Trunnions .For some reason I thought like a swivel arm.Maybe due to the small bore.It weighs 42.6 lbs

 

[Joe hunter]

that’s not properly assembled but gives you the general idea .

 

[pepperj]

42lbs no wonder you are tired.
Lugging that any distance would wear on the body.
Nice save

Forgot the picture with the bracket.This is so cool.I really found an exploded cannon.

Agree, I just wanted to see some better pics of this amazing find. The original pics didn't do it justice, the new pics are awesome!

Now those are beautiful pics and a stellar find!! Can't wait to hear more about it. Congrats on such a great and significant find!

I don't think thats a swivel gun. Looks more like a Carronade or like this 2 pounder https://www.ima-usa.com/collections...pounder-falcon-cannon-with-oak-naval-carriage

Look for markings on trunnion ends.

Perhaps the other one that has yet to be found I presume holds the "key" / marks... get back out there... you know its there.

This is getting even better by the day!

Certainly a cannon is a Banner find. I'll put my vote in! With all the pieces you have so far do we have a ballpark date yet? Enjoying watching this thread!

 

[Joe hunter]

No date yet.I really wanted to get out today but my body said no.I certainly hope I find more this season,time is running out and I’m Sheet rocking a house .I’m actually hoping for a thanksgiving hunt.(sooner if possible)
