Good Day digging

[WeaponsUSMC]

Got out for a few today, had a great time hunting with a friend who watched me grow up over the years. The first good signal of the day was almost not dug, the Barber, Merc, Buff and war nickel were all from the same hole, got to love pocket spills. The Cannon was an unexpected good find and a first for me. I'm throwing in a picture of "Member Captain Tim's ivory stamp club", I found this in my front yard and it comes from 1934-1936. Thanks for looking. HH.....Bill

Looks like your cannon was meant to be mounted on something larger: scale-model ship, maybe? Neat!

I would guess it's 20th century and was on a carriage at one time. These cannons were/are very common, but not so common to dig.

Thanks for the comments ya'll. The cannon was meant to sit ontop of a carrage at one point in time, but it was not in the hole with it or in the area. I have always wanted to find one and today was the day.

It seems that I am not the only person who cannot find one.

It's very high on my wishlist.

Nice cannon
I got one last year, a pure pleasure digging it up!
In fact I got more excited digging the cannon than a Hammered Silver.
