First thing I thought was a mill ball rusty ?

Mill balls are 100% round and smooth. They are pretty unmistakable. However, when I put the question out there, I got responses from it was a gatepost thingie, to a clock weight, to shot put ball etc. etc. etc. I don't know if anybody really knows about cannon balls older than 1776.

Looks like something was attached at one time. Check out ARCs reference charts.....theres one that shows canon balls and shot.....I bet yours was once chained to a ball of the same size with a short piece of chain.

I don't know much about cannonballs, but I do know the Spanish were notoriously bad at cannon ball making.

Rusty, the bar shot was primarily a naval round, designed to take down a rival ships masts or rigging.

I just have no idea if it is or not. Who made it? When? It's hard when even the internet doesn't know.

A good friend of mine who spent a career as a cop said at full moon the bar fights and domestic violence calls would double so yeah full moon is real when it comes to crazy behaviour.

Good afternoon crew mates.
Missing a few are we, humm?

Hopefully they return to the ship.

Well Captain, anything stored in the "e" realm, is safe from me! I couldn't crack that with a bar code!

Looks like the south east is about to get another storm, hope its less severe than the last.

Did you all hear about the planet in the Leo constilation that appears to have at lest water vapour on it, and temps simular to Earth's?
...Maybe we should warn them.

Bart,

Do you figure that's the entire cob or was it cut in half?

 

[Blak bart]

It's a whole 2 reale bill !! Man conditions are good. Took a pinch of baking soda and rubbed it down and viola....

I stopped by my treasure buyer and man does he want this little guy. I guess the smaller heart shaped coins are very popular with the ladies right now.
