    Any One Interested in a possible C/W Cannon find in NC Mountains ?

    if so let me know....reading a diary i found where an ''artilliary cassion'', several horses and a couple mules went over the edge of a steep trail and was lost.....''was lost '' to me means was not recovered....i would presume a cassion as mentioned would be hauling a cannon although one was not mentioned....either a cannon or ammo or i can see no other reason to be hauling one around.........cannonballs still bring a premium too......i can tell you the starting point and the ending point of the day it was lost....traveling up mountain, narrow, steep trail, with wagons/cassions/cavalry, they did not travel far...........

    It would not include a cannon as they were pulled separately from the caissons.
    Even still...if it were filled with ammo that would be worth good money and be great to find.

    I know this post is old...but never recovered...there's probably a reason it hasn't...and probably won't be, unfortunately.

    Anyway, I grew up there and some of the areas are so thick with rhodedendron (see the pic below) that you can't even think about getting through it. Trust me...these trees may not be big but they are Tough!

    It's still fun to look though...my brother's and I spent many many days searching for an old locomotive that had fallen from an old trestle and was never recovered but had been sighted during a forest fire decades earlier. Never found it....darn rhodedendron!
