Deep (12”) metal detecting find about 20’ in front of a pre 1860’s cellar hole, wooded area of Pittsburgh.
Wasn’t sure if it was just a blob of rust, but pictures show that a solid sphere emerged when the rusty shell was chipped away.
On my bathroom scale with readout to tenth of a pound it is exactly 9.0 lbs. Tape measure between 2 blocks exactly at 4”. It is perfectly round, and I don’t see any seams or fuse spot.
Cannonballguy, what is your opinion? Shot put, mill ball or Cannonball? Thx!
