If it is a 3.5" cannon ball, that would make it a 6-pounder, which happens to be from one of the most widely used British pieces during the 1800's.
With a quick search, there's lots of historical references to six-pounders and Vancouver

Hi ojm,
I think I can see a seam on it. It is could be a mill ball for grinding ore or grain.

it is 6lbs diameter 3 1/2"...it was found in a 1900 or older park,,near a logging camp,but not near a ocean..Found near logged stump beside a river.The pioneer loggers used sleuths powered by water,to move big logs down to the ocean.Where there were mills and sailboats...but to be honest not sure what it is?? sorry not big logs,chopped logs used for cedar shingles..
