Must have given you a hernia hauling those "balls" around...[:eek:]

You ought to clean those balls... soak them in some water... dry them off and paint them...! Preserve those balls so that others can appreciate them... hold them ... feel the weight of them... wouldn't want anyone to hold old, dirty, rusty balls would youy?[8|]

(kinda sound like Alec Baldwin when he hosted Saturday night live a long time ago, before he became a political jackass!!!)

Wow! nice cannon balls, keep looking in that spot im sure that there is a good chance that there are more. I will ad a song jingle from ac/dc with my own twist. Some cannon balls were made for shooting, to the left and to the right, but it is my guess that these balls will rest on the shelf day and night. You got different size balls you got different size balls. But George washington had the biggest cannon balls of them all.

Hope you have a wheelbarrow with a nice rubber tire. [:)] You should try having your balls sandblasted, you know, blow some of that crust off. Then you can polish them to a high sheen, chicks dig shiny balls.
