Hello;
I am a newbie I received this round about 25 years ago. Some kids were stealing cannon balls from a civil war memorial at a local cemetery. The were breaking them out of a cement circle around a flag pole. It was decided to remove the rounds. I collect ordnance so I was given a round. Its diameter is 8.8 inches and weighs 70 pounds. I would like to know if it is a cannon ball or a mortar round? Also what type of fuse did it take? Thank you, Vaughn
