Cannon shot?

[Cruisers460]

Loaned my nephew my tiller and he came up with. Cannon shot? Big ball bearings? He said there was once an old building there and he had picked shotshells out of the ground in the same spot. He's a big guy and those are large hands He's holding those with.

Very interesting! Can you tell if they are cast iron or steel?

No, just 4 Rusty balls of one or the other.

Most likely used in a milling operation.
