gooseandspoons Posted October 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2016 A friend of mine has what he believes to be a cannonball, i don't think it is, because of the square hole through the middle. It has a mold seam and it is cast iron. It's roughly over 7 inches in diameter and weighs about 65lbs. I've done a little research and have found there is a 8in caliber solid shot cannonball, but again the square/rectangular hole going all the way through would suggest it is not a cannonball and maybe a counter weight or a large cannonball gate weight. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted October 19, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2016 All manner of iron and steel balls have been called cannonballs and this sounds like another poser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
