A first for me

Got my first cannonball today it's 3 inches in diameter and just over 3 1/2 pounds. Could it be revolutionary? Thanks

I don’t recall reading about any skirmishes in Plymouth during Rev War, but I guess anything is possible.
Here’s a link to what the Pilgrim Museum has to say about those days….
Awesome find!

One of my ancestors, Maj Gen John Sullivan, fought the British in the Battle of Rhode Island. Nice to see some relics from up that way.
