We have been looking for this cannon for the last six months and found it about ten feet away from where we started. We got sidetracked by finding a couple hundred pieces of eight that took us in the other direction, but Thursday we came out and started again and after getting washed out Friday we made it back today and in the last hole we blew, there it was, just sitting there.

Congrats on achieving your goal! My Question is - What the ^&% is the round object with a hole in it, in the 4th pic (at the muzzle) of the cannon?
 
Hello Zoyster
I don't think I know Bill.

Believe it or not that seemed to be a totaly natural rock that just happened to be in that shape.
