Way cool! Any idea on the age of the ball?

Very nice finds. I like the ball. I'd be interested to know it's history as well.

That canadian half dime is awesome and on my wish list.I've found 5 or 6 dimes but never a half dine.

The cannonball dates to the late 1800's here in British Columbia, Canada. There was a few forts around the lower mainland. How this particular cannonball ended up in the woods of a park though. I have no idea, though I'm told that they were about as common as dirt around the 1900's in peoples gardens, etc. Pretty rare now though.
