Well I'm feeling more confident that I have indeed found a canister ball from the revolutionary war. I had some great help from a few members of this site. You guy's are awesome! Anyway according to ammunition specs for that period my ball is pretty much spot on for weight and diameter. A local Revolutionary War historian informed me yesterday that General Anthony Wayne had an infantry where I found it. Talking to a gentleman from the West Point military museum later too. I know I'm making a huge deal about this but its just such an amazing find to me!!
Here are pics of it before and after cleaning.

That is an amazing find. Document it, keep it in a safe place and pass it down through your family.
