canon ball 6.JPG canon ball 10.JPG canon ball 11.JPG canon ball 3.JPG Found two cannonballs today. When I get them cleaned up I'll post the pictures.
I believe the cannonballs are from a major engagement between the English and the Wabanaki Confederacy in the Governor Dummer's War. They measure 2 3/4". I hope to find more and other artifacts. I will post when I do.

CanOct6 -- 2016.JPG More shrapnel found yesterday. Three that are parts of a cannonball and three possibles. The two smaller on the left have the curvature of the ball. The three on the right may have broken away from the interior of the sphere.
