I don't know where to begin. But this was #1 on my revolutionary war bucket list. I still can't believe it.

So I went into a field we have done a bunch of times. It's on the battle of Rhode Island site. I got a good signal on my deus. It was reading 88-92. I dug down about 1+ feet and still the signal was kick ass. I told my buddy there was something good down there. So he started recording it. Well I found a rusty square nail so he was bummed and stopped recording it. I checked the hole and my pinpointer was still going off. I dug about a foot more and felt an edge so I thought it was a a plow edge. I put my shovel in and pryed it up and the can't believe that it was a cannonball that popped up.

So I took it to the bar for a couple of beers for the victory tour:)
