Went back Sat. to see if I could find the barrel for the gun.
searched about 20 feet around the hole just junk tin can parts mostly
but I did find a steel ball about a foot away from the hole the gun was in,
it has like a mold or casting mark. it is about 1/2" to 9/16" wide and its weight
is 230gn musket ball or?

could be the bottom part of a clapper for a bell?

and Thanks Stoney56 for the quick ID on the gun
and Thanks Marshall2702 for the Pics
