Cannon found !!

[Smith1]

Found this cannon and lead ball at a suspected civil war training site. The cannon is brass and is bored inside and has a fuse hole. I was told this was a training aid. Looking for more info! Thanks to all and HH

I was hoping to find a toy cannon some day.... and did it in the corner of a field along a creek where there was nothing else. It can be strange sometimes.

il have to go back and find it but someone posted ne a few weeks back. I dug mine at a colonial site near Jamestown. They are rwally cool because you don't see them dug too often.

Not a training aid, much older than CW. It was a gentlemans table piece (play thing, after dinner display)

Cool cannon! But why is it so small? was it a child's? or were all training cannons that small?
