Getting close to the reassembly process.I’m guessing a swivel cannon ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1605996352.307184.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1605996368.125655.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1605996383.659934.jpg the little gun is cool too.nothing is clean yet and I’m beat.Took some serious labor getting those beasts off the hill.
Thanks for looking.

Congrats on the latest pieces of the cannon, that sucker is in a lot of pieces.

What does the trunnion part weigh?

It's a cool find. You might want to consider putting a little more effort into your pics...I have little idea what I'm looking at :dontknow:


At least Joe posted up his latest finds-and stated that he beat after hauling the pieces up the hill.
But I guess a post up isn't worthy-if it not picture perfect.

Beats the hell out of the countless please click subscribers that post up nothing except a bloody look at me videos.

No ****! Trunnions .For some reason I thought like a swivel arm.Maybe due to the small bore.It weighs 42.6 lbs

42lbs no wonder you are tired.:occasion14:
Lugging that any distance would wear on the body.
Nice save

Agree, I just wanted to see some better pics of this amazing find. The original pics didn't do it justice, the new pics are awesome! :occasion14:
