Cool. I've found just one cannonball in my days. The first thing I ever found. My parents bought me a junky junky radio shack detector for about $30 bucks, that cannon ball was the only thing it would ever pick up! But the thought of that 6 pounder coming out (and to a 12 year old its even more enchanting) has kept me motivated the past 8 years. Congrats. By the way, I live just a couple miles from Fort Niagara. What about you? HH--Adrian
