Hello,
I purchased this iron fragment in Charleston, SC several years ago. I am not sure of its origin but hope that it may have some connection to either the Civil or Revolutionary War. I believe that this was submerged in the ocean because of the overall corrosion and sand in the cracks. The measurements are approximately 10.29" diameter (Arc Calc) by 2" thick and it weighs 17 pounds. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
I also added some pics of my James Pattern I, Sub Pattern I shell that was picked up in Southwest VA.
