Title: Cannon ball cache found.
Post by: Jim J. on May 05, 2016, 09:01:37 AM

I thought that I would post this here, as a teaser for all of you who like to collect and clean / conserve ordnance.  The Indians, as in India, have a small problem.  I generally run artifacts through an electrolytic reduction bath, in batches of 10 to 20 artifacts at a time - and I have ~ 40 ER vats !!!

Here they are.  Look closely besides the curry kiosk, holy cow and monsoon rain.
