<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeaGoat, post: 88505, member: 1136&quot;]I bought my 8 year old son a civil war cannonball (cannon ball?) at auction as he had a huge love for American wars and their weaponry (specifically the civil war and wwII).</p><p>Seriously, some of the questions he throws my way I don&#039;t even have a clue where he would have gotten any of the information. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways,&nbsp; I thought it would make a cool Christmas gift that he could start a collection with.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I told people, they looked at me like I was crazy and told me not to keep it near a fire place as it might explode and not to drop it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I immediately became paranoid due to the crazy looks they gave me, but I wasnt sure if they thought it was a weird gift for an 8 year old or if they thought I was crazy for giving something so dangerous to an 8 year old. </p><p>Obviously it will be display only and I&#039;ll explain to him the dangers, but is there really any huge significant danger of having these? </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, they told me it was a confederate cannonball due to the &quot;seam&quot;. There is somewhat of a indented seam, but not ever encountering a cannonball I have never had anything to compare it to. </p><p>What sort of seam did they have?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
