Last week i drove to nashville to pick up a supposed cannonball from a farmer who had gotten it from a friend whose parents picked it up on private land somewhere near shiloh in the 1950s. He was insistant that it was a cannonball. It wieghs exactly 92 lbs. And has a circumference of 26 5/8 imches. But looks like its made of steel. There is not much rust as i would expect on an iron ball. No filler holes either.
Does anyone know if the big artillery was made of steel?
I know grant had 2 gunboats at shiloh that had heavy guns on them. I also ran my whites detector over it and did not get an iron signal but a buckle signal.
Thanks!!
