I've engaged Patriot and Iron Patch in battle...Iron Patch is a reluctant combatant but Patriot is all in and battle hardened! I went back to a site I've been hunting for years and have found many cannonballs, bar shot and massive mortar fragments. I knew that today I would have to leave the field and hunt the adjoining wooded area which is what I did.
20 minutes into the hunt I get the tone that I immediately recognize as deep, dense iron...this picture shows the spot!
After 10 minutes of digging in a dirty muddy mess I reach into the hole...
...and feel the unmistakable roundness of a large bore cannonball! After pulling it from the sucking mud I am rewarded with this...
I think it's an 18 pounder but could be bigger! No matter how many of these I dig I am always so happy to pull them from the ground! Day is still early so off to find some epic silver!!!
