Hello,

I managed a couple of hours last night. Found nothing apart from buttons for the first hour and was making my way across the field towards the hedge as I was dying for a pee  Grin  when I had a decent signal. Very pleased when it turned out to be this toy cannon. Think the end of it must have been blown off and it was thrown away, a first for me so chuffed.

Thanks

Nice find.  dangerous toy. This must have produced some shrapnel when the end blew off.

They blew up on a regular basis so seeing as they were a popular toy there must have been a lot of injured kids around.

Black powder. Remember there would still be lots of muzzle loaded guns and shotguns.
God knows, we find enough of the ball.
The only one I have found so far was cast in lead, its still my wish list to find a decent one in bronze.
Maybe on Sunday, who knows.
Nice find Will

Thanks all. They must have been lethal, kids would have been firing them at each other, as kids do. A barrel explosion strong enough to blow one of these apart would have been a big bang.
