CANNON BALL!!!

Zodiacdiverdave · Mar 22, 2014

It was cold and windy but the sun was shining, the ground is still fozen like concrete so Rick and I head off to the beach and meet up with Aqua and cousin Ed for a little mud larking. 3rd good target of the day turned out to be a nice 3 inch cannon ball, I dug up some musket balls, sheathing nails from the days of wooden ships and iron men and a few other do-dads. Rick got up some silver and Ed might have a silver spoon but we are not sure on that just yet. (Should have gotten a group shot with all the finds)
Hoping to get diving for bottles tomorrow, fingers are crossed.

Great hunt. Lots of history with your finds. Nice solid shot. Would love to hunt an area like that. You could not drag me away. Be safe and be sure to post up the period glass.

Bet the signal from that cannon ball was so loud it hurt your ears!

That's awesome Dave!

Thanks for dropping off my iron yesterday...I wish I could have been home to meet with you guys. The bally that survived came out awesome! The 36 pounder is the pride of my collection! You mentioned that the Broadarrow was no longer visible on the 4 pounder but after a quick inspection I was able to find it. It's pretty shallow but is just as visible now as it was before the electrolysis. I'll get some pick up later!
