Duff 206 #26 Posted March 16, 2011 During the Revolutionary War a whole lot of ordinance was moved around using draft horses. Roads (trails) being what they were (or more accurately were not) at the time, it certainly isn't out of the question that a cannon ball could have fallen off from something.

rmaynard 14,932 #28 Posted July 13, 2011 It might be a "Shot put" I think you are on to something there. The marking could be 4K. 4K is a designation for a women's 8 pound shot, used in high school and college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 408 #29 Posted July 14, 2011 Not far from where I am is a gravel pit or dirt or something er other, where years ago they dug up a couple of cannons. I heard this 20-some years ago, but thinking they said civil war, but like I said, that was 20 years ago. There is alot of history in the town, so who knows...
