Hi Everyone,

I think I'm on to an area that took some heavy union artillery. I was out a little last night and found (2) 6 pound cannon balls. Went back this morning and sure enough 2 more. I think 2 is my limit for theses since they are about 20 inches deep. And digging them is a big task. I purchased a Excelerator 12.5 coil and sure enough it hits deep targets. This makes 6 cannon balls this past week. The previous 2 where 12 pounders. I never imagined I would ever find one. Ill be sure to post them when they are cleaned and restored. Thanks for looking.

HH- Ronin

Good grief, Ronin, how'd you hoist them outta the holes? Good job! Don't forget to repost when they're cleaned up. :) Did old cannon balls have anything on the inside of them that could, you know, go BOOM!? -Noodle
