MY FIRST CIVIL WAR CANNONBALL!!!

[planerie]

I went hunting at the Plantation again this weekend and found lots of really cool finds but this one takes the prize. My first ever cannonball. I don't have a scale but looks to be a 10 or 12 pounder.

Definitely wouldn't fit in my display case but would love to find one. Congratulations!

Nice digs. I hope to find one someday.

Are sure it's a cannonball? Just dosnt look round in pic.

Looks like a 12 pounder cannonball to me. It would have been about 4.7 inches in diameter (if not corroded). Nice find!

Just think 150 years ago that single piece of iron may have once decimated and entire squadron of soldiers.

That would've definitely left a mark. Nice find!

Nice find...I detected for 7 years before finding my first cannonball...now I've actually lost track of how many I've found!
