My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

From the one photo looks like it
Is there anyway I could find out for sure ?
It is unlikely that you will be able to get more than an educated guess based on size (calibre) of the ball, where it was found if known. how it appears to have been constructed etc. Unlike modern munitions these were often made in the field so many huge varieties and sizes exist. Could be a cannon ball but also could be made for decorative purposes. Often a bit of a leap of faith with these objects.
I found it in my garden in Norfolk england, would they know if I took it to a museum?
Hi Jim,
It is unlikely that anyone will say 100% that it is a canon ball. It would be worthwhile doing some local research to find if there was any fighting/battles around where you found it. These were used extensively during the civil war in the UK so that may be a start point.
All I know is there was a war which resulted in king Edmond of East anglia to die in hoxne a mile down the road I'm not sure if it could be linked tho
