Civil War Read artillery shell...

[aquachigger]

I know, I know...but I still like them. Here is my sixth water shell of the season and it's not even June yet. I think my spot is getting worked out though, so I may be in for a dry spell. Supposed to rain like the dickens tomorrow, so I may not be able to get out for a while.



And just after I found it...



Still haven't put out the three shell day video. Hopefully I'll get on it soon.
Thanks for checking out my post!

It's a Confederate Read shell for a rifled cannon. Here it is coming out of its shell this morning. I had it in electrolysis overnight. It's going to be a beauty!
