Found a Civil War cannon ball today!!UPDATED New pics of it together

[peanut]

I went to one of my spots today where a running battle took place back in 1862. I have done pretty well there, but today was my best day there so far. I got a big iron signal and dug down about 16-17 inches and found a cannon ball fragment then I started finding the case shot and more frags. This shot obviously exploded in the ground, I will be able to put it back together and make a great display. Thanks for looking, and happy hunting!


UPDATED:
Here it is put together, I should have the fuse by Thursday. I am still pumped about this find probably one of my all time best!!

I will be taking some more pics of it put together with the case shot down in it. One of my hunting buddies had found the fuse down the hill a little ways from it, and I also dug a few scatterd case shot a couple months before that, and thats why I was looking for the cannon ball. It looks like it hit the ground and then blew up, I found the frags and 52 case shot in the hole. My buddy is giving me the fuse that goes with it.
