Clipped KG2 fancy button and cannon ball

[trapperart]

Found these treasures this morning on a 3 hour hunt at one of my old permissions in a fallow grass field, that I never hunted. The cannon ball was a complete shock, it rang up like foil. I really like the fancy button with the holes. Really felt good to find another good spot on that site. Good luck to all. Art

Very nice. Is that cannonball 6.1 lbs by chance?

Sweet cannonball! All I ever find is cannister and grape....

Fallow field my arse, that has plenty of MDing crop to harvest. Congrats on those neat finds. The cannon ball ringing as foil is quite odd being a coin shooter, you gotta know that I am drooling over the clipped KG.

Awesome relic hunt with a KG thrown in for good measure!

Great finds. I would like to find a canon ball. Don't live in an area that has that kind of history.

Congratulations!

Nice haul Art. Strange way for a KG to be cut. Interesting.

2.7 pounds

Oh, I thought it was a 6 lb'er.

1730?

That's what I thought

 

[against the wind]

6.1 lbs or 2.7 lbs.
Get hit by either one, and the size won't matter
Congrats on a nice hunt and new spot
