[Big Boys Hobbies]

Well I have to say I was VERY excited to pull this out of the ground today! Its a Civil War cannon ball. Looks to be a 5 pounder. Trying to find more info on it as we speak. Anyone with ideas or info please speak up! Steve accused me of it being a softball but I can assure you its a very HEAVY softball! lol We found tons of musket balls and buttons today as well. Will post those later. We got it all on video so stay tuned for a video!

I want to thank GoneHunting, Steve Moore and Brian from Garrett for inviting me down. We all had a blast and enjoyed a day in the dirt! The AT Pro and AT Gold's were SMOKING hot on relics today!

Found some info on it. It is 3 1/2" across. According to a chart I saw that makes it a 6 pounder. I am still stoked!!!!

They are a rare find indeed, especially since they can only be found in few places.
