MY FIRST CIVIL WAR CANNONBALL!!!

[planerie]

I went hunting at the Plantation again this weekend and found lots of really cool finds but this one takes the prize. My first ever cannonball. I don't have a scale but looks to be a 10 or 12 pounder.

Looks like a 12 pounder cannonball to me. It would have been about 4.7 inches in diameter (if not corroded). Nice find!

Just think 150 years ago that single piece of iron may have once decimated and entire squadron of soldiers.

That would've definitely left a mark. Nice find!

Nice find...I detected for 7 years before finding my first cannonball...now I've actually lost track of how many I've found!
