Finding a Cannonball in your yard 101
If you find something that looks like a cannonball (see photo) in your yard please call 911 and let us know.
Last night, March 10th, we were called out to Mastin Avenue in the Seaford area of York County. Some children had been metal detecting and located a round metal object about two feet underground. They brought it inside where the parents saw it and called 911. Our deputies responded and kept an eye on things until personnel from the Naval Weapons Station could respond. They identified the object as a late Civil War cannonball from the Union Army. The cannonball possibly contained black powder based on the design. EOD collected the cannon ball.
