Nice find! May I ask what year or era that would have been used? Civil war era? Older?

So where the hole is in cannonball, would that been poured full of black powder? What is the hole in cannonball used for? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks that's cool. I'm in amazement it weighs 101lbs. What's the diameter on a cannonball that size? I'm sorry for all the questions, I just dont see stuff like that in kansas. Thanks again.

Congratulations on your cannon ball.
Biggest one that has been posted up in a longtime.
Just wondering how deep was it?
I'm sure there was grunting going on to get it recovered.
