[Bard Gauden]

Today I found an interesting thing. A little old toy cannon. I think it is a very rare find. And it is made so it can shoot The length is 64 millimeters = 2.51968504 inches and the inside diameter is about 4 millimeters = 0.157480315 inches

I also found a nice silver ring

A unique find....what type metal is it?.....If it's Bronze....may be older and worth more than u think...clean it up and post another pic.

It looks like it is copper or bronze, but since it's not green looking patina I guess it is copper. My uneducated guess is that it is from the 1800's. The cleaning might take a while, for now I just put on Olive oil to prevent it from dry out and destroy the patina

Maybe its off of a really small treasure ship, that sunk with ounces of GOLD in a mild rainstorm! Great find!
