In the topic "Iowa Digging" here in the lounge, you can see a 75mm artillery shell I found while Digging an old farm site in Allamakee County ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

Where did you find a cannon ball?

I could make up a story living here in PA but the truth is it was in the garbage pile at a house down our street.

Decades ago I stopped the car to dumpster dive for something else which I don't remember what it was now that caught my eye. Old people lived in a house down our street andย  they moved out for the nursing home.

My wife actually joined me and she found it and handed it to me. The smaller ones (I think) were in with a marble lot I bought long ago.
