thoughts on if this is a cannonball

I’m reposting in this thread because it fits more if it truly is a cannon ball.

I wouldn't doubt it...personally. Nice.

But are they all stone? Because they stopped using stone by 1700s, so they say.

 

If it was found near where you live,it is most likely a glacial pothole stone.

 

I thought glacial pothole stones were essentially naturally tumbled stones, they have softened edges and can be roundish, they not so often a nice spherical shape, but more often a slightly oblong shape. I'm not saying they can't be though, just not commonly a good actual spherical shape as opposed to a hand-carved sphere.

 

Or dinosaur eggs.
Ok I'm going now.

 

? civil war canon balls 12 or 18 pounds not sure about other dates

 

Yeah they seem to be stone, I tried a few magnets and nothing is sticking. I’m not sure on where it was found

 

Diameter? Weight?

 

How about this?

Not a cannon ball.. i found out it is a tumbling rock from rankin inlet.

 

So in found out that it is a tumbling rock from rankin inlet

 

Tumbling rocks? Rocks that are so hard that they are used to tumble other rocks to make them smooth?

 

Haha I could’ve been more descriptive, it came tumbling down a mountain

 

Thank you for the update!

 

Well, maybe they were 17thC cannon balls that tumbled down!
