There?s a Fort that did not have any battles and the Fort Was occupied by the French in the early 1800s. So I will sit in one day and I thought if I was at this Fort bored as hell with this humanity I would do like any kid would do and shoot off a cannonball I knew where the cannons we?re facing therefore I made my way on the other side of the bayou about 50 yards and I got a deep iron signal and I went for it and lookee lookee here. Among it is some beautiful grape shot found as well. Read this short paragraph. https://deadliestwarrior.fandom.com/wiki/8-Pound_Cannon IMG_0084.jpg
