Yesterday I posted that I found a 16 pound cannonball. My scale was way off. It was a 12 lb. British cannonball.

So I went back out today and about 300 yards away from where I found yesterday's cannonball I found an 18 lb. British cannonball!!! My goal in life was to find one. I can't believe I found a second!

Also I found a King George II colonial copper, a British musket ball, an American musketball and a couple of flat buttons.

Back to the bar!!!

You're on a hot spot there....keep up the good hunting! Go Pats!
 
Go pats!!! And no I didn't make it to the bar with this one...lol.
 
Grid the place. May be marked button and coins hiding in there too.
 
You got quite the pair now don't you!
I guess we all know what you might be up to tomorrow. ...going for the set!
 
OK, now this isn't funny. You're just rubbing it IN now . . . CONGRATS!
 
Thanks guys. I'm still waiting to wake up from this dream...lol
 
Wait till you find a USA button or a breast plate.....
 
Wait did you take the 18 pounder to the bar? Hey bro just remember the big ones need lovin' too! Congrats on two remarkable finds, even if ones a fattie. Lol

Ok now that there is funny!!!
 
Awesome chunk of iron..
 
If you find a button with RIR on it, I lost one up there recently.....
 
Uh huh. I betcha there is a LOT more in your site.
 
Unbelievable finds, what state and or revolutionary war site are you hunting?
 
My front lawn of course, the one guarded by the bobcat....
 
How does it feel to have two different size balls?

Congrats, and the ol' saying goes things comes in threes.
 
Now you can focus on finding some of their buttons! It's a good feeling when you first see the top, that perfectly round iron in the hole because you know it can only be one thing. I have dug three 12 pounders and would love an 18 to go with them!
 
I just went out and got a display for the twins.
