@@j.schmittler4905 There are absolutely ZERO scratches on it from cleaning the cannon that was done. The cannon was buried in the dirt and had roots growing throughout it. I contacted several museums and firearms experts prior to cleaning it up. The expert consensus was that a soft bristle toothbrush and a few diluted drops of liquid Dawn soap with warm water would not do anything to harm the cannon... Especially after being exposed to the outside elements for years. After the cannon was dry I applied a liberal coating of preservative gun oil inside and out. The cannon is now museum clean and will be on display at the GAR MUSEUM in the Steamtown Mall in Scranton Pennsylvania later this year

Seems to short to be an area denial swivel gun like a foot or more to short. Signal canon most likely and a nice thick strong one. Some of these better guns run 1000-8000 at auction.

The cannon is what would have been strapped onto the base board of a hand cart esque type carriage called a Galloper, which is a single ridden horse drawn. Gallopers were always short barrelled Robinette (1.5 inch) calibre and date back to the 1600's to 1700's. Issued to militias, the ammunition was gravel, rocks, etc. (basically, it's a giant shotgun). Sometime, 3 of these would be strapped to the carriage and referred to as a Battery gun. Both Gallopers & Battery guns were fairly common during the 30 Years War & English Civil War. They were also used by early British colonists to the Americas for defence against the indigenous population (and the French). You can buy 1/72 scale wargaming models of these gun as they would have looked, back in their day.

With a 1 1/2” bore, that would most likely make it a one pounder. So a round cannon ball that diameter would weigh approximately one pound. They made cannons in a multitude of lengths. The problem I see with that is it is missing trunnions, which are the metal pieces that come out of the sides, or is attached to the middle bottom, which is how it is attached the gun frame or carriage. As other people have asked, a detailed look for markings is needed. No real cannon would be made without something on it.

My daughter Paige (helping me) is severely epilepiltic and can not become overstimulated or she will have a seizure. I started recognizing the importance of what we had discovered and had to carefully document the find while not injuring myself or giving my kid a fatal seizure while removing the cannon. Trying NOT to kill my daughter and my own physical limitations are why the video took so long to make. I hope this puts the context of the video into a better perspective and you can grow as a person to see things differently.

Sometimes, retreating soldiers would have to abandon cannons if a more powerful adversary was in hot pursuit. In this case, it wasn't unusual for the gun crews to use hammers to knock off the iron trunnions. This was done to prevent an adversary from immediately reusing the cannon against them. US Civil War examples exist, such as the 32-pounder cast-iron cannon found at Quantico, VA, when the original parking lot at Liversledge Hall was built long before WW II. CSA troops abandoned this cannon after knocking off the trunnions with sledge hammers. Then, they buried the weapon before retreating toward Fredericksburg in January 1862, probably in hopes of retrieving it at a later date. This weapon is currently displayed outside Gerneral Officer quarters on the USMC base. Perhaps this is why the cannon in the video lacks trunnions. j
