When I was a kid, growing up in Portsmouth Virginia, a friend of mine found an American canon ball from the Battle of Craney Island (June 22, 1813) from the War of 1812. Made the local newspaper.

20 ish years ago I was walking the grounds of our new church under construction. I found a small cannon ball (probably canister shot) from the civil war!
When I was a kid growing up on Long Island, a farmer plowed up a cannonball from the American Revolutionary War.
It was theorized the cannonball was fired from a British ship on Long Island Sound during the Battle of Long Island.
I recently purchased an 1812 silver dollar. Just the history of it excited me.
