    Iron Canister Shot Trifecta

    Hello Diggers,
    I got out for a couple hours yesterday at the 1794 battle site and got my first-ever trifecta of canister shot. 3 different sizes: 3/4 inch, 1 inch, and 1 1/2 inches. Here's the before and after pics. Thanks for looking and stay safe and healthy!

    Yes I do! Through trial and error I have pretty much got it dialed in just exactly right.

    Wonderful finds Dave! The bottom pic with all the iron ammo and frags looks so cool! Do you plan on some sort of display for them. I imagine collectively they're quite heavy.

    Hey John, Thanks for commenting. I plan to display them once I get back to America. They are actually not too heavy because they are in small pieces. The 18-pound cannonball, now that's another story! I imagine it will be in a box by itself with lots of padding so it can't move.
