Thanks all guys for your input.
I can see the point of those getting mad at seing cannon balls being damaged for bizarre purposes, which i fully subscribe; but for what matters this very one was not afected ... just changed its certainly abandoned status to a usefull (and eventually peaceful) one. So in a way its life has not ceased and its presence, although inserted in a different context, can still be considered that of a cannon ball ... and so a (one more) collectors item.
Thank you A Snefelder, for your enthusiastic considerations on the degree of difficulty in the making of this device; it is always a pleasure to be enlightened on the technical view of things.
