cannonball

[Anonymous]

I got a good signal on a target about 1 month ago
while detectin with a friend. WE dug down about 2 1/2
feet. Did not find target. I went back 2 weeks ago
and redug the hole . I dug as deep as I could reach
down to my arm pit and probed and still did not
find target.
I think it could be a cannonball since an old farmer confided in me that he plowed one up years ago
within 30 yards where I am gettin siginal.
Any comments on digging this target. I also found
6 minnie balls in same area.
Is there any danger of the ball exploding etc
Your help appreciated. </STRONG>

If you are finding bullets and a cannonball was already found nearby, keep digging. As far as I know, shells have been found at 4 feet+. It may only be junk, but you'll never know... it could be the find of your life. Just my opinion, hope it helps.

Don't give up on the signal. Get a larger shovel and open a larger hole around the signal. Spend the time digging that signal and who knows what goodies you may end up with.
Any chance that you may be in the middle of an encampment??? If so, you could be in a solider's hut??
Good Luck and let us know what you end up finding.
