That is a reallly excellent find! Whats the story behind it , where were you digging!
 

i was hunting in an old park by a bay in a field it is close to where the war of 1812 was fought in hamilton ontario

Any guess as to what it was on or used for? Does it have holes in the legs for mounting. Hope it cleans up good.
I would think a very significant find. Keep us posted !!! ::)
 

James, where do you live? Our area is a good place to search, I live closer to Ny state, but am still in Ontario. Also what's your age? Send me a private message. Thanks mate. have a good one.
 

Clean that baby up, it's a nice find! Have you tried cleaning up the oxidation, and if so what did you use? My recomendation would be to sndblast it with a small media and then use a rust prevenytative oil on it.
 

Wow! that is amazing!.... whatever you do don't try and restore it! leave it the way it is!
