  6. Small round heavy bronze looking ball?

    Hi everybody! My sister gave me this... small, really heavy ball, that for years we have referred to as the cannon ball. She found it back in 2010 in the middle of nowhere Utah. I finally decided to do some research on it, and starting to think it is probably not a canon ball afterwards. Any...
  7. Cannonball fragment, need help with ID

    Yesterday I got to make a last ditch effort to hunt the place where I found the 2 pieces of 12 pound case shot last fall. The earth movers are on site scraping up all of the top soil to build a new apartment complex (very saddening). Anyway the construction crew couldn't give me written...

  12. Confederate Cannon ball fused.

    I found this bad boy yesterday hunting with some friends in GA on private land not far from a major battle. I didnt get a much of the dig on video because most of the huge iron was plow points and I honestly thought that this would be more of the same. It was super shallow in the edge of a creek.
