    No real sure they are cannon balls? If they are you made out like a bandit ! If you post them in the What is it section on here you will get some experts on it and a positive I.D.
    Good luck! Hope they are ok if not you are not out much

    I have a 2" like yours, and it has the seam too. I paid 2 bucks for mine, then dug one up about a block from the Concho River.

    The mold seams would make them suspect, I agree with the others. Artillery projectiles had to be manufactured to near precision. A 6 pounder projectile would need to measure at 3.67 inches in diameter.... a 12 pounder at 4.62 inches.
    If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming!
