Civil War Relic 3 inch cannon ball:
$38.00
This is a 3 inch solid cannon ball for a smooth bore 3 inch cannon. It weighs 4 pounds and 5 ounces. I purchased this at an antique- consignment store in Sefner, Florida and I was told the owner had moved down from Ohio. So who knows what it\'s story is.A fairly common ordinance, often used by Calvary units for quick movement. Some of these guns even broke down and were moved on the backs of mules or horses.The shell base is a wagon wheel nut probably off of a caisson or artillery piece.This was dug by myself at Turners Ferry on the Chattahoochee River which was the western end of Johnston\'s Northern Defense Line in the Battle of Atlanta. The three ring bullet is to show sizing but it\'s a bonus.
