12 LB'der...in his yard

Got a call from a friend lastnight...went something like this.

Hay Tom, I know your into stuff like this and maybe you could help me. I think my son dug up a cannon ball in the yard.

Sure enough he brings it into work tonight and this is what he gave me...along with permission to hunt his place in Murfreesboro TN. Kind of strange...I've been wanting and talking about them lately, hopefully the next one will be one I've dug lol. Thanks for looking and HH.

I doubt it's a cannon ball being marked 12lb.

well now for the good news -- Murfeeesboro , TN was the site of 3 major civil war battles , so while that might not be a CW 12 lb cannon ball -- his land might still have lots of CW goodies to yeild up to you. hey a invite to hunt land where theres a fairly good chance of finding CW items is always great.

Shot put = manually launched cannonball.

Claim your prize!

Got a 10 pounder myself. Yes, folks do ask me what a manually launched cannonball is when I describe it as such.

Muscle-actuated short-range ballistic object may also apply.

So what do you eat to obtain enough blasting force?

So Close! Could've been a 12 pound solid shot had it not been marked "12lb" . I have to agree with everyone else though: that the bright side is even better! A nice property to dig in Murfreesboro is quite a nice save and should bounce you back from any kind of low you may have felt about the about the shot put.
