How's old salty doing?

Maybe the energy he put into the cannonball by beating on it with a hammer has something to do with it as well.

In addition to the humorous title, the article is pretty interesting. Thanks for the ping!

A blast from the past -- "Thoroughly Modern Miscellany", mysterious chemistry, underwater archaeology pings. Pings all around, they're on the house. Found this and a number of others (you're about to see 'em) during a visit to the "iron" keyword. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

In 300 years I wonder if one or maybe two of my balls will still get hot.

Speaking of old iron balls...
Anybody know how to differentiate between an old 16 pound iron shot put ball and a 16 pound used iron cannonball?
I found one in a creek bottom on the ranch. There were Indian Wars engagements fought in this area. There were also several Veteran's & patriotic groups & celebrations etc in the area, including the GAR, so one could have also "walked" from town or a camp, to the ranch, which was established in 1895.
