Hi HB,
No wind mills in the area where your ball was found ? ... or prisons ?  Look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=cannon+ball |

Now you've had the serious replies...
It's a dead ringer for Mimas, one of the moons of Saturn. |

Took another look at it yesterday. It seems like the dot in the circle has got a thread. So maybe it has been hanging from a hook/eye or something that has been screwed in the ball. It is most probably a counterweight of some kind. We didn't use those kind of windmills in Denmark, but it could have been used as a counterweight in another kind of industry maschine. Best HB |

as we just finished the olympics and are about to start the paralympics, the following comes to mind
2.5 kg throwing hammer/weight minus it's broken off handle? (some of these are hollow / lead shot filled.) Sarah Holt Throws the 2.5kg hammer Last edited by kronckew; 21st August 2012 at 10:32 AM. |
