FOUND A CANNON BALL!

[Salvor6]

I found a cannon ball. I will take a picture of it later (after my batteries recharge) and post it so someone can identify it.

Cool, Salvor! How deep?

Dont be beating on the ball with a sledge hammer like that cannon ball collector did up in NC and blew himself up.Put it in a old cannon and fire it!

Pete great find. Keep us posted. I bet it is shaped like this.

Great find, great Salvor.......

I found it in the sand next to a coral outcrop. My buddy thinks the is a connection to Henry Morgan. Ed, It is about the same size as yours. I will post a pic as soon as I find it.

 

[old man]

Pete you the man. Nice find. Now get out there and find some of Morgan's gold.

My daughter found one of those "cannonballs" last summer while on a walk with her son. She called me thinking she found a bomb like the ones in the cartoons. The thing is she found it along with some discarded military equipment and some spent aircraft JATO bottles. When she showed those to me we had to get the EOD boys involve and they put the C-4 to them and destroyed them.
ZDD

Kevin. This is your fault!

Yeh I know. More Humour in the world now, what a result!!

 

[old man]

Sads669, we need a little humor in our lives. That's why I hear you're bringing the bell to the cookout, along with the damsel whose picture you posted.

 

[SADS 669]

If I don't get a firkin photo of it soon, she's going in the freezer, if I can fit her in!

I've looked like an idiot many times before but the " bee.. atch" is pushing it now.....

Could there be more out in the sand patch ?
