Half a Cannonball is Still a Cannonball!!

[romeo-1]

Got out for another vacation day of detecting. Hunted two sites for a total 5 hours. First site was where I've found the majority of my cannonballs and today did not disappoint. It's only half but it still counts! Also picked up a complete knee buckle and part of a navigation compass. Second site started finding the remains of an old steamer chest...no treasure...just hardware. Was a fun day!

Half of something is always better then all of nothing

Great looking buckle! What the holed coin in the second photo? Good day of finding interesting things, and sometimes it's just good as finding the coinage.

I'd count a fragment of a cannonball since I have no cannonball at all.

Is that a Crotal bell you call hardware. Lol I found one today and it made my day.

Way to go there Romeo ,every time you post you have more neat finds to show. A piece of bar shot now that's is cool. Like the buckle and you seem to have a lantern piece to,vanzutphen

Thanks...the buckle is one of my favorites as I've never found this style still intact.
