Topic: Cannonball (Read 560 times)
Thanks for the link. I'm gonna give it to a friend whose gonna use it to train with and he can "stamp on it" all he wants while I watch from a safe distance.
Yeah, I haven't figured out how to post a picture. After further inspection, though, I've come to the conclusion that it's probably a 16lb shotput
You could be right about that. I haven't seen a 16lb cannonball listed anywhere.

It's probably an old WWII unexploded landmine. Stamping on it a few times will confirm my suspicions. Let us know how you get on?

picture? 
I dug it up. It's five inches in diameter and weighs 16 lbs. I'm gonna try and sell it at a pawn shop tomorrow
I can see it now, pawn shop on lock down due to explosive device. lol
good luck, if they buy it let us know what you got for it.

There are a two types of cannonballs. Ones filled with gunpowder and others that are solid. I guess it could explode if the powder is still dry and you somehow ignite it. Just dig the thing up and look for seams or just throw it into a bon fire and see what happens..
Nebraska. An unlikely place for something like that to show up
Its a cannonball not a bomb, you can do anything you want with it, quick question though, where do you live?
So I was walking around and found what appears to be a half buried cannonball in the dirt. Didn't want to poke at it or kick it around obviously, but I may if curiosity gets the best of me. I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions?
