I was detecting for hours with no luck. I decided to swing on the way back to the car and hit a great signal. A 12lb (4") Cannonball partly on the surface! I got worried when I started cleaning and saw the fuse. I used chopsticks to dig out the paper and Black Powder while I poured beer on it. Any idea of age?
I'd say definitely old enough to drink...

To get the age, it would help if you post the location. Civil war or Revolutionary site?
