I relaxed this protocol, and was immediately hit with an email. The good news: it was the opportunity to save a Confederate cannon ball in a lady's basement. I doubt she would've found me if she had to register to login, but I thought I would crow about a save situation, especially when much of what we hear about is well intentioned authorities blowing up history. I have dispatched a highly trusted member of our community who lives near her to help out.
I'd post a picture of her copper fused spherical shell, but someone who is too much of a wimp to be an active contributor has been right clicking on photos posted here to find geolocations and then going to the places. Shame on you, you sneaky devil! But we all know what a 12pdr spherical shell with a CS copper time fuse adapter looks like so picture it in your mind's eye.
It is opportunities like this one to save history that make the efforts of this forum worthwhile and which overcomes the antics we occasionally have to deal with some non contributing jerkwads who add nothing to what we are trying to do and only take from it. Thank all of you who contribute, or even politely lurk, for creating a community that contributes to such a rewarding success as this one.
