where in the panhandle of FL did you find it, if you don't mind me asking
 

Would be a great bowling ball Nice find
 

Congratulations. That is on my bucket list
 

8-) a 29 pounder ! You scored a biggin' .
forged cannon balls are found in SJ , 4 pound balls are not unusual in Jersey..... 29 lb is serious artillery :icon_scratch:
