“We assume its a cannon ball. Found in the creek near our home. We plan on taking it to a local military fort museum to let them determine age and make sure it’s a cannon ball and not some sort of counter weight etc.” –Terry

“Metal detector paid in full with this one! Great hobby if your patient and respect all areas that you hunt. Been doing it for over 25 years and its amazing what people have dropped or lost over the past 150 years waiting to be found.” – Ray
