I know a guy who broke his leg while re-enacting a Civil War battle. A cannon rolled over his leg.
When they took him to the ER, the doctor said to one of the nurses “get me some whiskey - and a saw”

I found a couple Minie balls and some grape shot at an old fort near Ft Campbell many years ago. I still feel the thrill I experienced when I found them.

Ah . . . if it blew up it was not a cannonball. It was a shell.
A cannonball is a solid chunk of metal. A shell is a hollow sphere filled with explosive. They look different — and even if you cannot tell by looking at it (due to corrosion hiding the fuse hole), a shell would be lighter than a cannonball of the same size.
First rule of restoration: Know what you are restoring.

A friend of mine that knows how much I like the movie Gettysburg with Jeff Daniels just gave me Gods and Generals the other day and I was going to watch it tonight.

I’m not sure I would want to be remembered as the guy that set off the last munition from that conflict.
