I would rather that no one here even make jokes about illegal digging. Projectile collecting is not the most popular of hobbies.

If any one thinks I am the least bit serious about doing something illegal then they don't know me. Lighten up just a little man.

No one here condones or encourages illegal activities. If I may have spurred that thought it was unintentional. David

As one might guess I am thinking of adding a shrapnel section to my little museum (spare bedroom, or should I say corner of a small bedroom) so I am exploring that.

Rick Armstrong, in Gore, Va., known on eBay as revwarcannonballs (and formerly known as The Gallant Pelham), who is a charter member of "The Biggest eBay Crooks Ever" had a genuine Fort Sumter cannonball, with written provenance to boot, for sale several years ago.

If you let him know that's what you're looking for, I'm sure he can rustle up another.

Agreed, you want something from certain battlefield with written proof?  Just ask him, he will bend over and pull it out of his ass

 ::) yes you have to be careful these days. The collectors and dealers that have a true love of the hobby are some of the best people in the country, but when a buck can be made the leeches will slither in.
